------------------------------------------------------------
find the location of coordinate R is located at (-2,-6) and S is located at (10,-30)
-----------------------------------------------------------
================================================================
find the location of point P if R is located at (-2,-6) and S is located at (10,-30)
================================================================

P is some point (x,y), to the left of R.

%28-2-x%29%2F%2810-x%29=1%2F3
and
%28-6-y%29%2F%28-30-y%29=1%2F3

Simplify and solve the system:
