(0, -4)

Step-by-step explanation:

The coordinates of the points from which the directed line segment extends = (-6, -6) to (9, -1)

The ratio the required point partitions the line = 2 to 3

The formula for finding the coordinate of a point that partitions a line AB into a ratio ‘a’ to ‘b’, where the coordinates of, A = (x₁, y₁) and B = (x₂, y₂) is given as follows;

Therefore, the required point is located as follows;

The coordinates of the point is (0, -4)
