- Choice D
$$ AB:BC=1:3 $$
$$ => \frac{AB}{AC}=\frac{1}{4} $$
$$ \frac{AD}{AE}=\frac{AB}{AC}=\frac{1}{4} $$
$$ \frac{AD}{AE}=\frac{1}{4} $$
$$ \frac{8-2}{AE}=\frac{1}{4}=> AE=4 \times 6=24 $$
Therefore, the x coordinate of C is 2+24=26.
$$ \frac{DB}{EC}=\frac{AB}{AC}=\frac{1}{4} $$
$$ \frac{DB}{EC}=\frac{1}{4} $$
$$ \frac{3}{EC}=\frac{1}{4}=> EC=12 $$
Therefore, the y coordinate of C is -4+12=8.
The coordinates of point C is (26,8).
