Using proportions, and considering that the points are M(x1,y1) and J(x2,y2), the coordinates of C are given by:
C = [7/8(x2 - x1), 7/8(y2 - y1)]
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.
We consider that the points are M(x1,y1) and J(x2,y2), hence the point that is at 7/8 of the distance between them is found applying the proportion of 7/8, that is:
C = [7/8(x2 - x1), 7/8(y2 - y1)]
