New point  C = 

 

[  14 + (1/3)(14-2)  ,  2 + (1/3)(4  - - 2) ]  =

 

[ 14 + (1/3) (12)  ,    2  +  (1/3)(6)  ]  =

 

[ 14  + 4 , 2 + 2  ]  =

 

( 18 , 4)

Sorry....I  made a slight mistake...it should be

 

[  14 + (1/3)(14-2)  ,  4 + (1/3)(4  - - 2) ]  =

 

[ 14 + 4,  4 + 2  ]  =

 

(18,  6)

 

Which agrees with your answer

 

THX for the correction   !!!!

From A to B, the x coordinate increases by 12 and the y coordinate increases by 6.  If we continue on for 1/3 of this distance, we will add $1/3*12 = 4$ to the x coordinate and $1/3*6 =2$ to the y coordinate, to get $C = (14+4,4+2) = (18,6)$
