Directed Line Segments and Modeling Answers

In the coordinate plane, the directed line segment from K to N has endpoints at K(–6, –2) and N(8, 3). Point L partitions the directed line segment from K to N in a ratio of 1:2. Point M partitions the directed line segment from L to N in a ratio of 3:1. What are the coordinates of point M? Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary.
