Answer:

The coordinates of point B are (-3,-3).

Explanation:

Let
A(x,y) = (6,-6),
C(x,y) = (-6,-2) and
\overrightarrow{AB} = (3)/(4)\cdot \overrightarrow{AC}, then we have the following formula by vectorial definition of a line segment:


\overrightarrow{AB} = (3)/(4)\cdot \overrightarrow{AC}


B(x,y) -A(x,y) = (3)/(4)\cdot [C(x,y)-A(x,y)]


B(x,y) = (3)/(4)\cdot C(x,y) +(1)/(4)\cdot A(x,y)


B(x,y) = (3)/(4)\cdot (-6,-2)+(1)/(4)\cdot (6,-6)


B(x,y) = (-3, -3)
