ANSWER

( -  \frac{23}{5} , - 4)

EXPLANATION

Given the points P(2,-1) and Q(-9,-6),the coordinates of the point that partition the directed line segment PQ in the ratio 3:2 is given by

x = \frac{ mx_2+nx_1}{m + n}

y= \frac{ my_2+ny_1}{m + n}

Where m=3 and n=2

x = \frac{ 3 ( - 9)+2(2)}{3+ 2}

x = \frac{  - 23}{5}

y= \frac{ 3( - 6)+2( - 1)}{3 + 2}

y= \frac{  - 20}{5}  =  - 4

The point is

( -  \frac{23}{5} , - 4)
