A (4,8) and b (7,2) and let c (x,y)
A , B and C are col-linear ⇒⇒⇒ ∴ slope of AB = slope of BC
slope of AB = (2-8)/(7-4) = -2
slope of BC = (y-2)/(x-7)
∴ (y-2)/(x-7) = -2
∴ (y-2) = -2 (x-7) ⇒⇒⇒ equation (1)

between two points (x₁,y₁),(x₂,y₂) = d

The ratio of AB : BC = 3:2
AB/BC = 3/2
∴ 2 AB = 3 BC

= <span>

eliminating the roots by squaring the two side and simplifying the equation
∴ 4 * 45 = (x-7)² + (y-2)² ⇒⇒⇒ equation (2)
substitute by (y-2) from equation (1) at </span><span>equation (2)
4 * 45 = 5 (x-7)²
solve for x
∴ x = 9 or x = 5
∴ y = -2 or y = 6
The point will be (9,-2) or (5,6)
the point (5,6) will be rejected because it is between A and B
So, the point C = (9,-2)

Actually, the answer is not A, if you're saying A is the first choice above. That's incorrect. You will need to use the Geometric mean for right triangles here to figure out what the value of a is. We will use this form:

. We have a value for YZ of 3; side a is XZ. That means in order to solve this we need WZ, which we can find using pythagorean's theorem. 3^2 + 4^2 = c^2 and 9 + 16 = c^2 and c = 5. Now we fill in accordingly:

. Cross-multiply to get 3XZ=25 and side XZ is

. XZ is 25/3 and YZ is 3, so 25/3 - 3 = XY. That means that XY (side a) = 16/3 or 5 1/3, choice B, or the second one down.
