Trisection means a line is dividing into 3 equal parts.
This can be done by finding two points P and Q on the line segment AB. Such that AP=PQ=QB.
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

Question :-
Find the coordinates of the point of trisection of the line segment joining the points (3-,3) and (3,-3) .
Formula required :-
▶ Section formula
where ,P ( x , y ) giving the coordinates of point dividing point A ( x₁ , y₁ ) and point B ( x₂ , y₂ ) in the ratio m₁ : m₂ .
Solution :-
Refer to the figure firstly ...
Where A and B are points of trisection of line EF
( p , q ) are the coordinate of point A
( m , n ) are coordinate of point B
☞ E has coordinates (-3 ,3 )
☞ F has coordinates ( 3 , -3 )
⇰ Finding coordinates of point A by section formula
EA : AF = 1 : 2
so,
⇰ Finding coordinates of point B by section formula
Now we have ,
☞ Coordinates of point A( p , q ) = ( -1 , 1 )
☞ Coordinates of point F = (3 , -3)
AB : BF = 1 : 1
so,
