Check the picture below.

a(-1,2)\qquad b(7,14)\qquad
\qquad 1:3
\\\\\\
\cfrac{aP}{Pb} = \cfrac{1}{3}\implies \cfrac{a}{b} = \cfrac{1}{3}\implies 3a=1b\implies 3(-1,2)=1(7,14)

$\bf -------------------------------\\\\
P=\left(\cfrac{(3\cdot -1)+(1\cdot 7)}{1+3}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{(3\cdot 2)+(1\cdot 14)}{1+3}\right)
\\\\\\
P=\left( \cfrac{-3+7}{4}~,~\cfrac{6+14}{4} \right)$
