正确答案 · Correct Answer
C
解析 · Solution
Solution 1
The area of is .
The area of is .
If we set the areas equal, the area of is 4. Also, note that PQ=2. Plugging those in, we get:
, PT = 4
If PT = 4, and PO = 2, then OT = 2, and must be 2 units to the left of the origin. This would be (-2,0), giving answer .
