Let's denote the coordinates of point $C$ as $(x, y)$. We are given that point $C$ is six times as far from point $A$ as it is from point $B$. This can be expressed as an equation:
Distance from $C$ to $A$ = 6 * Distance from $C$ to $B$
The distance between two points $(x_1, y_1)$ and $(x_2, y_2)$ in a Cartesian plane can be calculated using the distance formula:
Distance $d = \sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2 + (y_2 - y_1)^2}$
In this case, we have:
Distance from $C$ to $A$ = $\sqrt{(x - (-1))^2 + (y - 0)^2}$ = $\sqrt{(x + 1)^2 + y^2}$
Distance from $C$ to $B$ = $\sqrt{(x - 3)^2 + (y - 8)^2}$
Now, we can write the equation based on the information given:
$\sqrt{(x + 1)^2 + y^2} = 6 \cdot \sqrt{(x - 3)^2 + (y - 8)^2}$
Squaring both sides of the equation to eliminate the square root:
$(x + 1)^2 + y^2 = 36 \cdot ((x - 3)^2 + (y - 8)^2)$
Expand the squared terms:
$x^2 + 2x + 1 + y^2 = 36 \cdot (x^2 - 6x + 9 + y^2 - 16y + 64)$
Now, let's simplify the equation:
$x^2 + 2x + 1 + y^2 = 36x^2 - 216x + 324 + 36y^2 - 576y + 2304$
Combine like terms:
$35x^2 - 218x + 2303 + 35y^2 - 576y = 0$
Divide the entire equation by 35 to simplify:
$x^2 - \frac{218}{35}x + \frac{2303}{35} + y^2 - \frac{576}{35}y = 0$
Now, we can complete the square for both the $x$ and $y$ terms to express the equation in the standard form of a circle:
$x^2 - \frac{218}{35}x + \left(\frac{109}{35}\right)^2 + y^2 - \frac{576}{35}y + \left(\frac{288}{35}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{109}{35}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{288}{35}\right)^2$
Factor the squared terms:
$\left(x - \frac{109}{35}\right)^2 + \left(y - \frac{288}{35}\right)^2 = \left(\frac{109}{35}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{288}{35}\right)^2$
Now, the equation is in the standard form of a circle:
$(x - \frac{109}{35})^2 + (y - \frac{288}{35})^2 = \left(\frac{109}{35}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{288}{35}\right)^2$
Comparing this to the standard form equation of a circle: $(x - h)^2 + (y - k)^2 = r^2$, we can see that the center of the circle is $\left(\frac{109}{35}, \frac{288}{35}\right)$ and the radius is $\sqrt{\left(\frac{109}{35}\right)^2 + \left(\frac{288}{35}\right)^2}$.
So, the coordinates of point $C$ are approximately $\left(\frac{109}{35}, \frac{288}{35}\right)$.
