1) Natural Number which is actually positive Integers and Whole number (Non-Negative Integers) are not the Terms that GMAT uses 2) Abscissa which is used for X-axis and Ordinate which is a term used for Y- Axis are not the terms used by GMAT 3) GMAT alays gives the options in Increasing/Decreasing order
For the Answer of the question, P should either be the midpoint of the two given points or P should lie on point (8, 0) or P should lie on point (0, 12)
Hence 3 possibilities of point P
Answer: option E
