Question

Find the points of trisection of line joining (2,6) and (4,8)​

Answer 1

★Given:-

• coordinates of line (2,6) and (4,8)

★To find :-

• points of trisection

★Solution :-

• using section formula

m1X2+m2X1

,,m1+m2

=>Let the ratio be 1:2

x or abscissa

=> 4×1+2×2/1+2

=> 4+4/3

=>8/3

y or ordinate

=>8×1+6×2/1+3

=>8+12/3

=>20/3

hence ,coordinate of Point P of AB

(8 , 20)

3. 3

=>now let ratio 2:1

point of abscissa

=> 4×2+2×1/2+1

=>8+2/3

=>10/3

point of ordinate

=>8×2+6×1/3

=>16+6/3

=>32/3

now coordinate of point Q are

(10/3 ,32/3)

What is trisection??

• trisection mean dividing a line segment in three equal parts or dividing line segment in 1:2 or 2:1
