Answer:

P = (8,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 3+2 = 5, we are dividing line segment AB into 5 congruent parts with point P 3/5 of the way from A to B.  

x-coordinate of P = x-coordinate of A + (3/5)(change in x from A to B) = -4 + (3/5)(20) = 8

y-coordinate of P = y-coordinate of A + (3/5)(change in y from A to B) = 8 + (3/5)(-10) = 2

P = (8,2)
