Answer:

E = (6, -1)

Explanation:

You want endpoint E if point P(3, 0) divides HE in the ratio 2:1.

Dividing point

When HE is divided 2:1 by point P, the coordinates of P are ...

P = (2E +H)/3

End Point

Solving for E, we find ...

3P = 2E +H

3P -H = 2E

E = (3P -H)/2

E = (3(3, 0) -(-3, 2))/2 = (9+3, 0-2)/2 = (6, -1)

The coordinates of E are (6, -1).
