Using proportions, it is found that the coordinates of the desired point are (2,2).

  • The first point is A(-4, -1).
  • The second point is B(6, 4).
  • The desired point is C(x,y).

The point C partitions the segment AB into a ratio of 3 to 2, hence:

[tex]C - A = \frac{3}{5}(B - A)[/tex]

This proportion is applied using both the x and y coordinates of the points, hence:

[tex]x - (-4) = \frac{3}{5}[6 - (-4)][/tex]

[tex]x + 4 = 6[/tex]

[tex]x = 2[/tex]

[tex]y - (-1) = \frac{3}{5}[4 - (-1)][/tex]

[tex]y + 1 = 3[/tex]

[tex]y = 2[/tex]

The coordinates of the desired point are (2,2).
