The coordinates of A and B into these formulas, the x-coordinate is -1/10 and the y-coordinate is -21/10.

The coordinates of a point that is t = 3/10 of the way from point A to point B, you can use the following formulas:

x = (1 - t) * xA+ t * xB

y = (1 - t) * yA + t * yA

where t is the fraction of the distance from A to B. In this case, t = 3/10. Let's substitute the coordinates of A and B into these formulas:

For the x-coordinate:

x = (1 - 3/10) * (-4) + 3/10 * 9

For the y-coordinate:

y = (1 - 3/10) * (-6) + 3/10 * 7

For the x-coordinate:

x = 3/10 * (-4) + 3/10 * 9 =-1/10

For the y-coordinate:

y = 7/10 * (-6) + 3/10 * 7 = -21/10

Therefore, the coordinates of the point that is 3/10 of the way from A to B are approximately (-0.1, -2.1).
