A segment with endpoints at A(2, -2) and B(14, 4) is extended through B to point C. If BC = 1/3 AB, what are the coordinates for point C? Express your answer as an ordered pair.

C  = 

 

[ x coordinate of B  +  (1/3) ( x coordinate of B  -x coordinate of A)  ,   y coordinate of B  + (1/3) ( y coordinate of B  -y coordinate of A) ]

 

 [  14 +  (1/3)( 14  - 2)   ,  4 + (1/3) ( 4 - - 2)   ]  =

 

[ 14  + (1/3)(12)   ,  4  + (1/3)(6)  ]  =

 

[14  + 4  ,  4  +  2  ]  =

 

(  18  ,  6 )
