Question

Which point is located on ray PQ−→−? A line contains points M, N, O, P, Q, R, S with arrows instead of endpoints. point M point M point N point N point O point O point R

Answer 1

In the context of the mathematical question about ray PQ, the correct answer is point R because it follows point P in the direction of Q.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is asking which point is located on the ray PQ with the understanding that a ray starts at its initial point and extends infinitely in one direction. Therefore, to determine if a point is on ray PQ, the point must be positioned after point P and before any endpoint if there is one, in the direction in which the ray extends which is towards Q. From the points provided (M, N, O, P, Q, R), point R is the only point that is in the direction of the ray from P towards Q. Therefore, point R is located on ray PQ→.

Ray tracing is often used in physics to determine how light and other waves will propagate, as well as to determine the properties of images produced by lenses and mirrors.
