So far I have 
Since I am given 4:1 I know to put it into a fraction which is 4/1. To find M I have to find the distance between the X coordinates and the y coordinates. From 1 to 10 you go 9 over to the right which makes it a positive 9. So now I will multiply 4/1 by 9.
4/1 X 9/1 = 36/1 = 
Now I will look at the Y coordinates which are -2 and 3. There is 5 spaces going up this is a positive 5. Now I will once again take 4/1 and multiply it by 5.
4/1 5/1 = 20/1 = 20
Now I have to find the exact coordinates of point M.
but I know its incorrect iv graphed it and it makes no sense. Iv been trying to figure out this problem for an hour, anything helps.
