Question

find the trisectional points of line
Joining (2,6) and (-
4,8)​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

a(2,6)

b(4,8)

let the two trisectional points be m and n

m divides ab in the ratio 1:2

m(x,y)=[1(4)+2(2)/1+2 , 1(8)+2(6)/1+2]

=(4+4/3 , 8+12/3)

=(8/3,20/3)

n divides ab in the ratio 2:1

n(x,y)=[2(4)+1(2)/2+1 , 2(8)+1(8)/2+1]

=(8+2/3 , 16+8/3)

=(10/3 , 24/3)

=(10/3,8)
