What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment from (-6,-1) to (6, -9) that partitions the segment into a ratio of 3 to 1?

no

explanation:

since the earth is flattened at the poles and bulges at the equator, geodesy represents the figure of the earth as an oblate spheroid. the oblate spheroid, or oblate ellipsoid, is an ellipsoid of revolution obtained by rotating an ellipse about its shorter axis.
