The coordinates of point R of the given line segment are (-3.5, -7)
<h3>How to partition a line segment?</h3>
We are given the coordinates;
L (-8,-10) to M (4,-2)
We are told that they are partitioned in the ratio 3 to 5.
Thus;
The coordinates of R divide directed line segment from L (-8,-10) to M (4,-2) in ratio 3:5will be :
x = [3(4) + 5(-8)]/(3 + 5)
x = -3.5
y = [3(-2) + 5(-10)]/(3 + 5)
y = -7
Thus, the coordinates of point R are (-3.5, -7)
