Final answer:

The coordinates of point P cannot be determined without additional information on its relationship with points A and M in the coordinate system.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking for the coordinates of point P, given that the coordinates of point A are (-6, 1) and the coordinates of point M are (-2, 2). However, to determine the coordinates of point P, we need additional information such as the relationship between points A, M, and P. Without that information, we cannot accurately provide the coordinates for point P. In the case of calculating points, distances, or any other measure in a coordinate system, we would typically use formulas that involve the given coordinates. For instance, if we needed to find a point that is exactly in the middle of two other points (the midpoint), we would average the x-coordinates and the y-coordinates of the two points to find the midpoint's coordinates.
