Question

In the diagram, AC and PR are vertical lines, while CB is a horizontal line segment. If CR : RB = 2 : 3, what are the coordinates of point Q? A. (-2, -4) B. (-1, -5) C. (-3, -3) D. (0, -6)

Answer 1

A. (-2,-4)

Explanation:

If CR:RB is 2:3, and C is (-4,-7), then R is (-2,-7)

You can stop here because only A has the x value as -2.

If you want to look at the y value also, -4 is 2/5 of the way between -2 and -7, which has the same 2:3 proportion.
