Question

Point $P\left(-4,2\right)$ lies on the line segment joining the points $A\left(-4,6\right)$ and $B\left(-4,-6\right)$. State whether the following statement is true or false. Justify your answer.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Determine whether the point $P\left(-4,2\right)$ lies on the line segment joining the points $A\left(-4,6\right)$ and $B\left(-4,-6\right)$.

Draw the points $P\left(-4,2\right)$, $A\left(-4,6\right)$ and $B\left(-4,-6\right)$ on coordinate axes.

Join A and B.

From the graph, we can see that the point $P\left(-4,2\right)$ lies on the line segment joining the points $A\left(-4,6\right)$ and $B\left(-4,-6\right)$.

Hence, the given statement is true.
