do you have an image so that we could better address this problem?

haseeb96 · Answer

let E is the point lie between it here the ration is given 
so here we use interrnal divsion point formula 
E(x,y)=x2m1+x1m2/m1+m2 ,y2m1+ y1m2/ m1+ m2 this is the formula of internal divsion point now just pit in it these value and get the x of E 
here the ratio which is given 
m1:m2 =3:5 
C(x1,y1)=(3,4)
D(x2,y2)=(11,3)
