Coordinate Plane Interpretation Practice Test

Triangle $$ABC$$ has vertices at $$A(-2, 3)$$, $$B(4, 1)$$, and $$C(0, -5)$$. What is the area of triangle $$ABC$$?

Line segment $$AB$$ has endpoints $$A(-4, 1)$$ and $$B(8, 7)$$. If point $$C$$ is on segment $$AB$$ such that $$AC:CB = 2:1$$, what are the coordinates of point $$C$$?
