see the attachment for detailed answer
So then R is 1/6 of the way from E to F.
The x distance from E to F is 11- 4=7.
So then the x distance from E is,
Similarly for y,

R:(31/6,22/3)
Point r divides ef¯¯¯¯¯ in the ratio 1 : 5. if the coordinates of e and f are (4, 8) and-example-1
Point r divides ef¯¯¯¯¯ in the ratio 1 : 5. if the coordinates of e and f are (4, 8) and-example-2
Point r divides ef¯¯¯¯¯ in the ratio 1 : 5. if the coordinates of e and f are (4, 8) and-example-3
