To solve the problem step by step, we need to find the coordinates of point P, given that its x-coordinate is twice its y-coordinate, and that it is equidistant from points Q(2, -5) and R(-3, 6). ### Step 1: Define the coordinates of point P Let the coordinates of point P be (x, y). According to the problem, the x-coordinate is twice the y-coordinate. Therefore, we can express x in terms of y: \[ x = 2y \] ### Step 2: Write the distance formulas Since point P is equidistant from points Q and R, we can set the distance from P to Q equal to the distance from P to R. ...
