Answer:

[tex]C = (\frac{33}{5},\frac{19}{5})[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]A = (1,3)[/tex]

[tex]B = (8,4)[/tex]

[tex]AC : BC = 4 : 1[/tex]

Required

Determine the coordinates of C

To do this, we make use of:

[tex]C = (\frac{nx_1 + mx_2}{n+m},\frac{ny_1 + my_2}{n+m})[/tex]

Where:

[tex]A = (1,3)[/tex] ---- [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex]

[tex]B = (8,4)[/tex] ---- [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]

[tex]m:n = 4 : 1[/tex]

So:

[tex]C = (\frac{1 * 1 + 4*8}{1+4},\frac{1*3 + 4*4}{1+4})[/tex]

[tex]C = (\frac{33}{5},\frac{19}{5})[/tex]
