Answer:

[tex](0,a)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x-------> the length side of the rectangle

y------> the width side of the rectangle

we know that

[tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x[/tex] ---> equation A

[tex]x=3a[/tex] ---> equation B (given problem)

substitute equation B in equation A

[tex]y=\frac{1}{3}3a=a[/tex]

so

the coordinate of the top-left vertex of the rectangle is equal to

[tex](0,a)[/tex]
