Question

Which of the following best represents the coordinates of point P such that P is 1/3 of the distance from R to T, and T is at (3,3)?

A. (2, 2)
B. (1, 1)
C. (0, 0)
D. (-1, -1)

Answer 1

To find the coordinates of point P, we assume R is at (0,0) and calculate 1/3 of the distance from R to T at (3,3). P's coordinates would be (1,1).

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking us to find the coordinates of point P such that it is 1/3 of the distance from an unknown point R to point T at (3,3). To solve this, we first need to assume a point R. Let us assume R is at the origin (0,0) for simplicity. Then, we can find point P by taking 1/3 of the difference in x and y coordinates between R and T.

To find P's x-coordinate: (1/3)*(3 - 0) + 0 = 1
To find P's y-coordinate: (1/3)*(3 - 0) + 0 = 1

So, the coordinates of point P are (1,1), which corresponds to option B.
