Point p lines on line MN and is 3/4 of the way from M and N. What are the coordinates of point P? M is at (-3,7) and N is at (9,15). Find point P

Wondering how a point on a line can be 3/4 from each end?
Assuming MP = 3/4 MN.
M(-3, 7), P(x, y), N(9, 15).
x + 3 = 3/4(9+3).
4x + 12 = 36,
X = 6.
y-7 = 3/4(15-7).
4y - 28 = 24,
Y =
M(-3, 7), P(x, y), N(9, 15).
x + 3 = 3/4(9+3).
4x + 12 = 36,
X = 6.
y-7 = 3/4(15-7).
4y - 28 = 24,
Y =
