Question

Find the coordinates of the points of trisection of the line segment joining(4,-1) and (-2,-3).

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Approach :

the points of trisection are the points which divide the line into 3 equal parts

u can apply section formula two times.

suppose AB is a line and let to points P and Q in between the lines

so firstly in order to find P apply section formula as ratio=1:2

then for Q take ratio as = 2:1.

you will definitely get the answer.
