Question

In the coordinate plane shown point C (not shown) lies on AB (10, 10) (2, 4) x Find point C so that that the ratio of length AC to the length of CB is 1:3.

Answer 1

Distance in a plane

Initial explanation

We want to find a point C that lies on the line AB.

Its distance to B must be three times its distance to A.

We have that the coordinates of C correspond to the division of the x axis and the y axis:
