Answer:

[tex]P = (3,0)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]A = (-3,-2)[/tex] ---- [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex]

[tex]B = (6,1)[/tex] --- [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]

[tex]m:n =2:1[/tex]

Required

The coordinates of P

This is calculated as:

[tex]P = (\frac{mx_2+nx_1}{m+n},\frac{my_2+ny_1}{m+n}][/tex]

So:

[tex]P = (\frac{2*6+1*-3}{2+1},\frac{2*1+1*-2}{2+1})[/tex]

[tex]P = (\frac{9}{3},\frac{0}{3})[/tex]

[tex]P = (3,0)[/tex]
