42. In the standard (x, y) coordinate plane, the 3 distinct points A(3, 5), B(6, 8), and C are collinear, and B is equidistant from A and C. What are the coordinates of C ?

Answer and Explanation

Your Answer is

Correct Answer is G

Explanation

Because the three points A, B, and C are collinear and B bisects AC, the horizontal (vertical) coordinate of B is half of the sum of the horizontal (vertical) coordinates of A and C. Therefore, the coordinates of point C are calculated as (9, 11)
