ok...

anonymous · Answer

okay now you can convert that into a fraction so it would be -1/9

make sense so far?

agl202 · Answer

ya, ok...

anonymous · Answer

so then you have the point (-1, 9) so then you take your ratio and convert it to 4/5  and you multiply that by -1 and by 9 to get -4/5 x 36/5 and when you simplify those to decimals you get the coordinates -0.8 and 7.2 which are your new coordinates
