Calculating the touching point

A parabola has been created with a string construction from the control points, AA, BB and CC.
A=(5,10)A = (-5, 10)
B=(0,0)B = (0, 0)
C=(10,5)C = (10, 5)
Point QQ is on the line ABAB at (3,6)(-3, 6).
Point RR is on the line BCBC at (4,2)(4, 2).
Line QRQR touches the parabola at point PP.
Given that the ratio of AQ:ABAQ : AB equals the ratio of BR:BCBR : BC what are the coordinates of PP?
PP = ((
