To find the coordinates of point \(X\) that divides the line segment \(AB\) in the ratio \(AX:BX = 1:2\), we'll use the section formula.
Assuming \(A\) has coordinates \((x_1, y_1)\) and \(B\) has coordinates \((x_2, y_2)\), and \(X\) divides \(AB\) in the ratio \(m:n = 1:2\), the coordinates of \(X\) can be calculated using the formula:
\[
X = \left( \frac{mx_2 + nx_1}{m+n}, \frac{my_2 + ny_1}{m+n} \right)
\]
Given that we do not have specific points \(A\) and \(B\), we can't directly compute \(X\). However, we can review the provided coordinate options to determine which point could feasibly be \(X\) based on the ratio.
Let's check the provided options for possible coordinates of \(X\):
1. \(X(-10, 5)\)
2. \(X(-4\frac{2}{3}, 25)\)
3. \(X(-3\frac{1}{8}, y)\) (The second coordinate isn't provided)
4. \(X(-4\frac{1}{3}, -10)\)
To see if any of these can serve as points in the ratio 1:2, we would ideally need \(A\) and \(B\).
Since we cannot proceed without known coordinates for points \(A\) and \(B\), we cannot definitively determine \(X\) from the options provided without any additional information about \(A\) and \(B\).
If you provide the coordinates of points \(A\) and \(B\), I can use the section formula to find \(X\). Otherwise, I suggest analyzing the possible rational coordinates for clues based on the 1:2 ratio assumption between point coordinates as we lack specific endpoints.
