Question

If A (-2, -1) and B (7, 8) , then find the coordinates of the trisection points of AB line segment.

Answer 1

Answer:

(1, 2), (4, 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

(- 2, - 1) and (7, 8)

x distance between points (7 - (- 2)) = 9

9 ÷ 3 = 3

First "x" coordinate: - 2 + 3 = 1

Second "x" coordinate: 1 + 3 = 4

y distance between points (8 - (- 1)) = 9

9 ÷ 3 = 3

First "y" coordinate is - 1 + 3 = 2

Second "y" coordinate is 2 + 3 = 5

Point 1. (1, 2)

Point 2. (4, 5)
