Answer:

(6, 1)

Explanation:

The formula for dividing segment AB into parts in the ratio M:N is ...

P = (M·B +N·A)/(M+N)

Using the above formula with the given values, we have ...

P = (3(12, 3) +2(-3, -2))/5 = (36 -6, 9 -4)/5 = (30, 5)/5

P = (6, 1)

The point P that divides segment AB into parts in the proportion 3:2 is ...

P = (6, 1)
