Math Problem Statement

Given segment AB, point C(10, -10) lies on the line containing the segment. The distance from one endpoint of the segment to a certain point on the segment is 7/3 of the total segment length. Additionally, it is known that point A is located at a distance of x from point B, and we are asked to determine the coordinates of points A and B such that the line segment AB can be symmetrical relative to point C.

Solution

The question appears to involve calculating specific points on a segment and proportional distances between points, given that:

  1. Segment ABAB is on the line containing the point C(10,10)C(10, -10).
  2. A point lies on this segment such that it is 73\frac{7}{3} of the distance from one endpoint of the segment.

Additionally:

  • It's given that the distance from point AA to point BB should satisfy certain conditions.
  • The coordinates for points AA and BB must be calculated to form a reflection or symmetrical arrangement relative to point CC.
