Final answer:

To find the coordinates of point K so that JK is (1)/(6) of JL, we can use the formula (5/6)x1 + (1/6)x2 and (5/6)y1 + (1/6)y2.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the coordinates of point K so that JK is (1)/(6) of JL, we can use the concept of finding a point along a line segment. Let the coordinates of J and L be (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) respectively. Then, the coordinates of K can be found using the formula:

xK = (5/6)x1 + (1/6)x2

yK = (5/6)y1 + (1/6)y2

Substituting the given coordinates of J and L into these equations will give the coordinates of K.
