Question 1166855: if point c lies on line segment AB such that AC=1/4AB, If the endpoints of line segment AB ar A(8,12) and B (-4,0) what is the coordinate of C

You want to go 1/4 of the way from A to B in both the x and y directions.

The change in x from A to B is -12; 1/4 of that is -3.
The change in y from A to B is -12; 1/4 of that is -3.

ANSWER: (8-3,12-3) = (5,9)
