Answer: (3,-2)

Explanation:

The ratio 2:5 means you can divide it into 2+5 parts or 7 parts

To find the x value

-7 and 28 are 35 apart and 35/7=5 so 5(2)=10

so you add 10 to the x value of P so -7+10=3 so the x value of Q is 3

so the same for the y value

2 and -12 are 14 apart

14/7=2 so you subtract 2(2)=4 from the y value of P so 2-4=-2

the y value Q is -2

so Q is

(3,-2)
