The points are given C, D,E which are collinear .

Apply the internal division formula.


x=(mx_2+nx_1)/(m+n),y=(my_2+ny_1)/(m+n)

From the given data , the coordinate of x is.


4=(3x+5)/(3+5)\Rightarrow4=(3x+5)/(8)
32=3x+5\Rightarrow x=9

From the given data, the coordinate of y is .


5=(3y+40)/(8)\Rightarrow40=3y+40
y=0

Hence the value of x is 9 and y is 0.
