Help?
Not really sure how to do it.
i see a graph and i leave
.-.

This is easy stuff dude, just calculate the distance between the 2 points, and then divide by 3. And then, set that equal to the distance formula, and find the coordinate.
|dw:1486219331277:dw|
You can use similar triangles to do this calculating the distance as steve816 suggested gives AB = 13.416 and CB = 3.354 form the graph EA = 6 so we can find CD 13.416 / 3.354 = 6 / CD which gives CD = 1.5 by Pythagoras DB = sqrt ( 3.354^2 - 1.5^2) = sqrt 9 = 3
so , from the graph we see that the coordinates of C are (7-3) , (-2 + 1.5) = (4,-0.5)
I agree with this final result. Another approach: Note that the horiz. distance from A to B is 12 units. 3/4 times 12 units produces 9 units. Combine 9 and -5. Result: 4. The x-coordinate of point C is 4. Note that the vertical distance from A to B is -6. 3/4 times -6 is -4.5. Combine the vertical coordinate 4 of point A with this -4.5. The y-coordinate of point C is -0.5. Thus, Point C is located at (4,-0.5).
