To find the coordinates of point H on line segment AB such that the ratio \( \frac{AH}{HB} = \frac{1}{4} \), we can set up a parameterization based on the coordinates of points A and B. However, the coordinates of points A and B are not given in the problem statement. Assuming A and B have coordinates \( A(x_1, y_1) \) and \( B(x_2, y_2) \), we can proceed with the following approach.

Let the coordinates of point H be expressed in terms of A and B. The coordinates of point H can be calculated using the section formula or weighted average.

Since the ratio \( AH:HB = 1:4 \), we can express the position of H as follows:

\[ H = \left( \frac{4x_1 + 1x_2}{4 + 1}, \frac{4y_1 + 1y_2}{4 + 1} \right) \]

This means H divides the segment AB into 1 part from A and 4 parts towards B.

The next step would require substituting the actual coordinates of points A and B to find H. However, without specific values for A and B, we cannot calculate the exact coordinates for H.

If we assume generic coordinates for A and B, we can check each provided response by substituting them back to see if they maintain the ratio \( \frac{1}{4} \).

For example:

1. For point \( H (0.75, 1.5) \)
2. For point \( H \left( \frac{3}{4}, \frac{3}{2} \right) \)
3. For point \( H (0.6, 1.2) \)
4. For point \( H \left( \frac{3}{5}, \frac{6}{5} \right) \)
5. For point \( H (-1, -2) \)
6. For point \( H (0.2, 0.2) \)

Each one must be validated against appropriate points A and B.

Since no values for A and B were provided, it is not possible to determine a definitive answer for H without additional information about the coordinates of A and B.

To find the coordinates of point \( X \) located \( \frac{2}{3} \) of the way from point \( A \) to point \( B \), we again need the coordinates of points \( A \) and \( B \). However, without specific coordinates for \( A \) and \( B \), we can describe how to find the coordinates of point \( X \).

Assuming the coordinates of points \( A \) and \( B \) are \( A(x_1, y_1) \) and \( B(x_2, y_2) \), the coordinates of point \( X \) can be calculated using the following formula:

\[
X = \left( x_1 + \frac{2}{3}(x_2 - x_1), \, y_1 + \frac{2}{3}(y_2 - y_1) \right)
\]

Now let's evaluate the given response options:

1. \( X(4, 83) \)
2. \( X \left( 4, \frac{8}{3} \right) \)
3. \( X(163, 113) \)
4. \( X \left( 6, \frac{11}{3} \right) \)
5. \( X(83, 10) \)
6. \( X \left( \frac{8}{3}, 10 \right) \)
7. \( X(263, 5) \)

Without the actual coordinates of points \( A \) and \( B \), we cannot determine the correct coordinates of point \( X \) directly. However, if you provide the coordinates of points \( A \) and \( B \), I will be able to calculate the coordinates of point \( X \) accurately or validate one of the provided options.
