Answer:

(60, 41)

Explanation:

You want to find the coordinates of C such that B(12, 5) partitions AC into the ratio 1:3. Point A is (-4, -7).

Ratio

The required ratio is ...

AB:BC = 1:3

3(B -A) = C -B . . . . . . in terms of coordinates

4B -3A = C . . . . . . solve for C

C = 4(12, 5) -3(-4, -7) = (48+12, 20+21)

C = (60, 41)

The coordinates of point C are (60, 41).

Additional comment

In the attachment, point C was found by dilating point A about point B by a factor of -3.
