B = (3, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point A is at (-7,5) and point C is at (5,-1).  Find the coordinates of point B on AC such that AB is 5 times longer than BC.  Then, B split AC in a 5:1 ratio.

rise = yC - yA = -1 - 5 = -6

run = xC - xA = 5 - (-7) = 12

c = 5/(5+1) = 5/6

B = (xA + c*run, yA + c*rise)

B = (-7 + 5/6*12, 5 + 5/6*-6)

B = (3, 5)

first one is a: renaming a fraction. second one is c: de-c
