A, B, and C are collinear, and B is between A and C. The ratio of AB, to AC, is 1:3. If A is at (−2,−3) B is at (-6,-1) what are the coordinates of point C?

I believe that it would be (-18, 13). All I did was multiply the distance between A and B by four then found a point that was 22.8 units away but still along the same line.
