Solution

For this case we have the following info:

PR= 2/3

P= (0,0)

Q= (x,y)

R= (-12,0)

We can do this:

We can check for all the possible options in order to find the answer:

We have the following ratio;


(PQ)/(PR)=(2)/(3)

Then we have this:


PQ=(2)/(3)\cdot PR

the value of PR = 12 so then

PQ = 2/3 *(12)=8

then the answer is:

(-8,0)
