You can put this solution on YOUR website! The x coordinate is 4/5 of the way from 4 to 9, and that distance is 5, so the x coordinate is at 8.
The y coordinate is 4/5 of the way from 1 to 13, and that distance is 12, so the y coordinate is 48/5 or 9.6 of the way or at 10.6
(8,10.6) is the coordinate.
Distance from A is sqrt ((8-4)^2+(10.6-1)^2)= sqrt (16+92.16)=sqrt (108.16)=10.4 units
Distance from B is sqrt ((9-8)^2+(13-10.6)^2=sqrt(1+5.76)=sqrt(6.76)=2.6 units
Total distance is sqrt (12^2+5^2)=13
10.4 is 4/5 of the way to 13.
