The y-coordinate of point C is 8.5

How to determine the y-coordinate of C?

The points are given as;

A = (2,4)

B = (10,10)

Ratio, m : n = 3 : 1

The y-coordinate of C is calculated using:

[tex]Cy = \frac{1}{m + n} * (my_2 + ny_1)[/tex]

This gives

[tex]Cy = \frac{1}{3 + 1} * (3 * 10 + 1 * 4)[/tex]

Evaluate

[tex]Cy = 8.5[/tex]

Hence, the y-coordinate of point C is 8.5
