Help with midpoint question?
Point C lies on line segment AB such that AC = (1/4)AB. If the endpoints are A(8,12) and B (-4,0), find the coordinates of C.
I came up with the answer of C(1,3) but my teacher counted it wrong on my paper. Why is that? If I solved it wrong can anyone explain how to do it correctly?

The correct answer would be (5,9) The slope of the line is 1… [(8- -4)/12-0]… [(x1-x2)/(y1-y2)]… If the segment AC is 1/4 that of AB then you would divide: 12/4 = 3. Go down the line 3 squares to go 1/4 of the segment and you land at (5,9). If you continued down the line at 1/4 segments you would stop at (2,6) (-1,5) & (-4,0)
