Answer:

B(-6, 0)

Explanation:

You want to find B such that ...

(B -A) = (3/4)(C -A) . . . . the required distance relation

4(B -A) = 3(C -A) . . . . . . multiply by 4

4B = 3C +A . . . . . . . . . . add 4A, simplify

Now, we can solve for B and substitute the given coordinates:

B = (3C +A)/4 = (3(-6, -2) +(-6, 6))/4 = (-24, 0)/4 = (-6, 0)

The coordinates of point B are (-6, 0).
