Given the coordinates M (-6, -4) and T (9, 16)
If the coordinates are divided in the ratio 2:3 then a = 2, b = 3
The y coordinate of the point Q will be expressed as;
Y = ay1+by2/a+b
From the coordinates, y1 = -4 y2 = 16
Y = 2(-4)+3(16)/2+3
Y = -8+48/5
Y = 40/5
Y = 8
Hence the y-coordinate of the point Q is 8
