Answer: (11, 0)

==========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

The x coordinates are the same (11), so we don't focus on them.

The y coordinates are what matter here.

The distance from y = 4 to y = -8 is 12 units. Split this into thirds to get 12/3 = 4

So we'll move 4 units from point A to move toward point B. In other words, we'll go down 4 units to get to (11, 0) as the answer

See the diagram below.
