Answer:
(1, 1), (4, 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
x distance between points is (7 - (- 2)) = 9
9 ÷ 3 = 3
First "x" coordinate is
= - 2 +3 = 1
Second "x" coordinate
= 1 + 3 = 4
y distance between points is (5 - (- 1)) = 6
6 ÷ 3 = 2
First "y" coordinate is
- 1 + 2 = 1
Second 'Y' coordinate is
1 + 2 = 3
Point 1. (1, 1)
Point 2. (4, 3)
P.S. If distance is number multiple of 3, then better to do it on the coordinate plane. See attachment.
