Answer:

B. (2, 3)

Explanation:

Difference in x-coordinates of points A and B:

5 - (-4) = 9

2/3 of the difference is:

2/3 × 9 = 6

Add the difference to the x-coordinate of point A:

-4 + 6 = 2

The x-coordinate is 2.

Difference in y-coordinates of points A and B:

5 - (-1) = 6

2/3 of the difference is:

2/3 × 6 = 4

Add the difference to y-coordinate of point A:

-1 + 4 = 3

The y-coordinate is 3.

Answer: B. (2, 3)
