Question 269129: Point C is on the segment AB which has endpoints A(2, -1) and B(11, 5). Point C is twice as far from point A as it is from point B. What are the coordinates of point C?
Answer by scott8148(6628) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
the AB distance is 9 on the x-axis and 6 on the y-axis

C is 2/3 of the distance from A to B

so the AC distance is 6 on the x-axis and 4 on the y-axis

C coordinates are (8, 3)
