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 where R is at (-2,0) & T is at (4,3) ?

Answer 1

We have the points

R (-2,0)

T (4,3)

The first thing we need to do is plot our two points:

Next, when we draw a line between these points:

We can see that the line can be divided in 3 exact parts.

So the point P which must be at 1/3 of the distance can be at either of those poinnt marked.
