(-9.5, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratio a:b (a to b) of two segments formed by a point of partition, and the endpoints of the original segment, we can calculate the point of partition using this formula:

.

Given two endpoints of the original segment

→ (-10, -8) [(x₁, y₁)] and (-8, 8) [(x₂, y₂)]

Along with the ratio of the two partitioned segments

→ 1 to 3 = 1:3 [a:b]

Formed by the point that partitions the original segment to create the two partitioned ones

→ (x?, y?)

We can apply this formula and understand how it was derived to figure out where the point of partition is.

Here is the substitution:

x₁ = -10

y₁ = -8

x₂ = -8

y₂ = 8

a = 1

b = 3
