Answer:

C (-1,6).

Explanation:

This is a horizontal line segment since A and B have the same y-coordinate. Point P will also have the same y-coordinate since P is suppose to be on line segment AB.

So the only choice that has the y-coordinate as 6 is C. So we already know the answer is C. There is no way it can be any of the others.

So we are looking for the x-coordinate of point P using the x-coordinates of A and B.

A is at x=-3

B is at x=0

The length of AB is 0-(-3)=3.

AP+PB=3

AP/PB=2/1

This means AP=2 and PB=1 since 2+1=3 and AP/PB=2/1.

So if we look at A and we know P is 2 units away (after A) then -3+2=-1 is the x-coordinate of P.

OR!

IF we look at B and we know P is 1 unit away (before B), then 0-1=-1 is the x-coordinate of P.
