Question

Points M(-3,7) and N(-1,6) are points of trisection of seg AB if A-M-N-B then find coordinates of points A and B

Answer 1

The coordinates of A and B are (-5,8) and (1,5) respectively.

• Given M and N are points of trisection.
• Let M divides AB in the ratio 1:2
• Use section formula
• Find equations (1) and (2)
• And N divides AB in the ratio 2:1
• Use section formula
• Find equations (3) and (4)
• After solving these equations, we get the coordinates of A and B
