a point P is dragged along the xy-plane by a string PT of length a. If T starts at the origin and moves along
the positive y- axis, and if P starts at (a, 0), what is the path of P?

The path of point P will be along the x-axis in negative direction up to origin and then it will move along the positive y-axis.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that a point P is dragged along the xy-plane by a string PT of length a.
If the coordinates of T at the start is origin (0,0) and moves along the positive y-axis and if P starts at (a,0), then the path of point P will be along the x-axis in negative direction up to origin and then it will move along the positive y-axis.
