To find the distance between (-2,-3) and (4,1), Peggy's teacher drew a diagram and marked blue lines to represent the legs of a
right triangle. Peggy then used 42 and 62 to find the distance represented by the red segment. What distance did she find ?
A) 52
B) 114
C) 20
D) 25
A) 52

Answer:
The side closest to P is the side that is on the same side of the angle bisector as P.
Step-by-step explanation:
The angle bisector is the line containing all the points equidistant from the sides of the angle. Points on one side of the angle bisector are closer to the angle side that is on that side of the angle bisector.
___
The attached diagram shows the angle bisector as a dashed line. A couple of different locations for P are shown (P1 and P2). Apparently, we're concerned here with the distance from P along the perpendicular to each side of the angle. For P2 (on the left side of the angle bisector), it may be clear that the left perpendicular is shorter than the right one. Likewise, for P1, the right perpendicular will be shorter.
Answer:
(6,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinates of the points dividing the line segment in ratio m:n can be calculated as:
Here x1, y1 are the coordinates of first point S (-2, -6) and x2, y2 are the coordinates of second point T(18, 9).
In this case m will be 2 and n will be 3 as the ratio is 2:3
Using all these values we can find the coordinates of point Q
Thus, the coordinates of point Q which divides the line segment ST in ratio of 2:3 are (6,0)
