Question

Find the coordinates of the points of trisection of ths line segment joining points A ( 2,6) and B ( - 4 ,8) ?




please help :| ​

Answer 1

a●------------p●-----------q●-----------●b

ap=pq=qb

ap:pb=1:2

use m1x2+m2x1/m1+m2 for finding x coordinate of p and m1y2+m2y1/m1+m2 for finding the y coordinate of p and repeat same process for finding the coordinated of q by taking the ratio of aq:qb as 2:1.
