AHSME 1969 Problem 11

    Given points P(−1,−2)P(-1,-2) and Q(4,2)Q(4,2) in the xyxy-plane; point R(1,m)R(1,m) is taken so that PR+RQPR+RQ is a minimum. Then mm equals: (A) −35(B) −25(C) −15(D) 15(E) either −15 or15.\text{(A) } -\tfrac{3}{5} \text{(B) } -\tfrac{2}{5} \text{(C) } -\tfrac{1}{5} \text{(D) } \tfrac{1}{5} \text{(E) either }-\tfrac{1}{5}\text{ or} \tfrac{1}{5}.
