the coordinates the partitions point is (x,y), and given m =5 and n = 2, then
for x
[tex]\begin{gathered} x=\frac{m(x2)+n(x1)}{m+n} \\ x=\frac{5(4)+2(-3)}{5+2} \\ x=\frac{20-6}{7} \\ x=\frac{14}{7} \\ x=2 \end{gathered}[/tex]for y
[tex]\begin{gathered} y=\frac{m(y2)+n(y1)}{m+n} \\ y=\frac{5(5)+2(-9)}{5+2} \\ y=\frac{25-18}{7} \\ y=\frac{7}{7} \\ y=1 \end{gathered}[/tex]answer: the coordinates are (2,1)
