Question

If point A is located at (8,6) and point B is located at (-3,0). Point C is between points A and B such that AC= 1/4AB. What are the coordinates of point C?

Answer 1

Midpoint of AB (call this point D):

((8 + (-3)/2, (6 + 0)/2) = (2.5, 3)

Midpoint of AD (this point is C):

((8 + 2.5)/2, (6 + 3)/2) = (5.25, 4.5)

Point C is at (5.25, 4.5).
