Answer:

(-3, 3)

Explanation:

The blanks are trying to lead you through the process of finding the point of interest.

__

The horizontal distance from T to S is 9 . (or -9, if you prefer)

The ratio you're trying to divide the line into is the ratio that goes in this blank:

Multiply the horizontal distance by 2/3 . (9×2/3 = 6)

Move 6 units left from point T.

The vertical distance from T to S is 6 .

Multiply the vertical distance by 2/3 . (6×2/3 = 4)

Move 4 units up from point T.

__

Point T is (3, -1) so 6 left and 4 up is (3, -1) +(-6, 4) = (3-6, -1+4) = (-3, 3). The point that is 2/3 of the way from T to S is (-3, 3).
