B-A = (-2,-2)
So C-B = 3(B-A) = (-6,-6)
C = B+(-6,-6) = (-1,-4)
Point B (5,2) is located on AC such as that AB is ¼ of AC. Find the coordinates of point C if point A is located at (7,4).
After graphing the points provided, what would my next step?

well C is to the left and down
B is down 2 from A (4-2 = 2)
so
C is down 4*2 = 8 from A
so y coordinate of C is 4 - 8 = -4
and B is left 7-5 = 2 from A
so
C is left 4*2 = 8 from A
so x coordinate of C is 7 - 8 = -1
so C is at ( -1 , -4 )
B is down 2 from A (4-2 = 2)
so
C is down 4*2 = 8 from A
so y coordinate of C is 4 - 8 = -4
and B is left 7-5 = 2 from A
so
C is left 4*2 = 8 from A
so x coordinate of C is 7 - 8 = -1
so C is at ( -1 , -4 )
