explain me the formula for a point that forms a partiton of a ratio on a segment in the 2nd grade real numbers.


Let’s say the ratio a:b, our formula those becomes


{(bx1 + ax2)/(a + b) ,( by1+ay2)/a+b}


From the question, we can identify that


(x1,y1) = (-6,-1)


(x2,y2) = (4,8)


a = 1 and b = 3
