Answer:
(6,0)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinates of the points dividing the line segment in ratio m:n can be calculated as:
Here x1, y1 are the coordinates of first point S (-2, -6) and x2, y2 are the coordinates of second point T(18, 9).
In this case m will be 2 and n will be 3 as the ratio is 2:3
Using all these values we can find the coordinates of point Q
Thus, the coordinates of point Q which divides the line segment ST in ratio of 2:3 are (6,0)
As we could "drag" these together, we could then do it the easy way.

3:
63= 18.
Carry the one.
53 = 15+1 (which was carried). = 16
(16+8) = 168
