x=(5*2 + -10*3)/3+2 and y=(-1*2 + 4*3)/3+2
so x=-4, y=2

(x,y)=(-3,5)
first calculate the length n divide itin 3:2 ratio
now find length using (x,y) from both the given points n try to establish an equation in x and y by subtracting both the eq.
now obtain the relation bet x and y using slope condition
now solve both equations n get x and y
