What is a line segment?

A line segment is a line drawn to join two given points on the cartesian plane.

Analysis:

x coordinate = MX1 + NY1/M + N

y coordinate = MY1 + NY1/ M+N

where M and N are the ratio of division

x = 1(-1) + 2(8)/1+2 = 15/3 = 5

y = 1(-6) + 2(-3)/1+2 = -12/3 = -4

(5,-4)

In conclusion, the coordinates are (5,-4)
