Question

A segment with endpoints at A(2,-2) and B(14,4) is extended through B to point C . If BC=1/3AB, what are the coordinates for point C ? Express your answer as an ordered pair.

Answer 1

Oh wow, these questions just get progressively more difficult

Answer 2

Common this is easy, heard about external division?

Answer 3

It's not that difficult, I know

Answer 4

One approach is to find the point, D on AB that is 1/3 the length. The slope between AD will be the same as the slope of BC

Answer 5

@MissPacGirl: you want answer, or how to do it ?

Answer 6

both...

Answer 7

coordinates are 28/3, -8/3?

Answer 8

wait.... thats for BC

Answer 9

then what?

Answer 10

I haven't solved it but I will give you a link from where you can understand.

Answer 11

ok

Answer 12

Point D is (6,0)
Point C = (18,6)

Answer 13

I did it using the graphing techniques

Answer 14

thanks

Answer 16

I bet that's going to be something complicated. My method is much easier

Answer 17

howd u do it?

Answer 18

I could probably show you, but I'd have to do a lot of work to show you

Answer 19

Maybe I could use geogebra

Answer 20

ya!!!!!

Answer 21

actually, u dont have to show me

Answer 22

Hero , that is not complicated, well the proof is but in general cases we just have to plugin the equations.

Btw this is a normal conversation and I don not mean any offence :)

Answer 23

I know. Everything is fine. There's no problem.

Answer 24

@MissPacMan, I don't?

Answer 25

Great, I have much difficulty in reading Heros :D

Answer 26

*GIRL .....you can if you want too... but i usually have a hard time understanding

Answer 27

oops, lol

Answer 28

Yeah, probably

Answer 29

Pac I really appreciate your eagerness to understand instead of memorizing the formula.

Answer 30

is that bad or good.. Dx

Answer 31

I would die trying to memorize that formula
