A, B, and are collinear, and Bis between A and C. The ratio of AB to BC is 2: 1.
If A is at (7,-2) and B is at (1,-6), what are the coordinates of point C?

Answer 1

Answer:

(-2, -8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the coordinates, we can see the x gap between A and B is 6 and the y gap is 4. The ratio between AB and BC is 2:1 so the x gap between B and C will be 3 and the y gap 2 because 6/2 = 3 and 4/2 = 2. It is shown to moving left from A to B so we get 1-3 = -2 as our x-coordinate and it is also moving down left-to-right so we do -6-2 = -8 for our y-coordinate.
