You have coordinates of tree T(16,21) and of rock R(3,2). Let S be a point that denotes treasure. Since treasure is buried so that it partitions the distance between a rock and a tree in a 5:9 ratio, you can state that
Find the coordinates of these vectors:
Then
and
Solve these two equations:

Answer: the treasure are placed at point (7.6,8.8), so the correct choice is B.
z = 8 + 6x - px Subtract 8 from both sides
z - 8 = 6x - px Factor the x out of 6x - px
z - 8 = x (6 - p) Divide both sides by (6 - p)
= x Switch the sides to make it easier to read
x = <span> </span>
z - 8 = 6x - px Factor the x out of 6x - px
z - 8 = x (6 - p) Divide both sides by (6 - p)
x = <span>
