ANSWER
A (3,4) and B(7,7) and C(x,y) or C'(x,y) are collinear points.
AB = √[(7-3)²+(7-4)²] = 5
AC = 10, given.
Slope of AC = slope of AB = (7-4)/(7-3) = 3/4
=> (y-4)/(x-3) = 3/4 --- (1)
=> 4 y - 3 x = 7 --- (2)
AC² = 10² = (y - 4)² + (x - 3)²
= [ 3/4 * (x - 3) ]² + (x-3)²
= (x-3)² * 25/16
=> x - 3 = + 8
=> x = +11 or -5
=> y = (7+3x)/4
= 10 or -2
C = (11, 10) and C' = (-5, -2)
