Given points P ( − 1 , − 2 ) P(-1,-2) P ( − 1 , − 2 ) and Q ( 4 , 2 ) Q(4,2) Q ( 4 , 2 ) in the x y xy x y -plane; point R ( 1 , m ) R(1,m) R ( 1 , m ) is taken so that P R + R Q PR+RQ P R + R Q is a minimum. Then m m m equals:
(A) − 3 5 (B) − 2 5 (C) − 1 5 (D) 1 5 (E) either − 1 5 or 1 5 . \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}. (A) − 5 3 (B) − 5 2 (C) − 5 1 (D) 5 1 (E) either − 5 1 or 5 1 .
