Step-by-step explanation:
Let P(x1 y1) and Q(x2, y2) are required points which is trisect the line segment joining the points
A(11, 9) and B(1, 2) respectively.
Let AP = PQ = BQ = x
PB = x + x = 2x
AQ = x + x = 2x
See 1st image
Hence point P divides line segment AB in the ratio 1 : 2 and point Q, divides the line segment Ab in the ratio 2 : 1.
By the section formula for point P, m1 = 1, m2 = 2
See 2nd image
∴ Hence the co-ordinate of point P is (23/3, 20/3)
for point Q, m1 = 2, m2 = 1
See 3rd image
So, the co-ordinate of Q = (13/3, 13/3)
Hence, required coordinate of point P and Q is (23/3, 20/3) and (13/3, 13/3) respectively.
