Question

Find the coordinates of the point which trisect the line segment joining (1,-2) and (-3, 4)

Answer 1

Answer:

keep smiling....

Step-by-step explanation:

Let AP= PQ= QB=x

Then, AP= x & PB= PQ+QB= x+x=2x

AP:PB= x:2x= 1:2

AQ= AP+PQ= x+x=2x & QB= x

AQ:QB= 2x:x= 2:1

Hence, to find points of trisection we find two points P and Q such that P divides AB

in the ratio 1 : 2 and Q divides AB  in the ratio 2:1.
