Answer:
( 23 / 3, 20 / 3 ) is one trisection point (closer to (11, 9))
( 13 / 3, 13 / 3 ) is the other trisection point (closer to (1, 2))
Step-by-step explanation:
( ( 2×11 + 1 ) / 3, ( 2× 9 + 2 ) / 3 )
= ( 23 / 3, 20 / 3 )
( ( 11 + 2×1 ) / 3, ( 9 + 2×2 ) / 3 )
= ( 13 / 3, 13 / 3 )
Let the points be (a, b) and (m, n).
Let (a, b) be after (1, 2), and (m, n) be before (11, 9).
Let P = (1, 2), Q = (a, b), R = (m, n), and S = (11, 9).
We know that the coordinates of collinear points equidistant from each other are in AP.
So, as Q and R trisect the line segment, PQ = QR = RS. Therefore, x coordinates of P, Q, R and S are in AP. So are y coordinates.
Consider the AP 1, a, m, 11,..., formed by x coordinates.
Consider the AP 2, b, n, 9,..., formed by y coordinates.
∴ Q = (a, b) =
& R = (m, n) =
Hope this helps. Plz ask me if you've any doubts.
Thank you. :-))
