Answer:

The equation of the line segment between points A and X is

sA + (1-s)X, s\in[0,1]

Then we need that the point C satisfy:

\left[\begin{array}{c}-12\\t\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{c}-14s\\15s\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{c}13(1-s)\\-17(1-s)\end{array}\right].

This implies that

-12=-14s-13s+13\\s=\frac{25}{27}

We replace the value of s in the equation we get from the second component

t=15s+17s-17\\t=32\frac{25}{27}-17\\t=\frac{341}{27}

Then the point C=(-12,\frac{341}{27}) lies on the line through A and X.
