Question

Then choose the point P below that has the following property: If point P is added to the given set of points, then point P would be in a closest pair of points, and all the currently existing closest pairs would also still remain closest pairs.

a) (0,5)
b) (16,-1)
c) (14,4)
d) (22,11)

Answer 1

when the point p is added to set of points. the closest pairs would be (a) (0,5)

Explanation:

Because at 0 the value of x is at its minimal or its simply at the origin.

hence we conclude that the closest point when p is added to the given set of points is (0,5)
