Find the coordinates if the po points of trisection of the line segment joining (4,-1) and (-2,-3) |
| Answer» first let the points beA(4,-1),B(-2,-3)first let us take the ratio as 1:2 and later 2:1 since its trisection .let the point joining A and B be P(x,y)Step-by-step explanation:P = (1*-2+2*4/1+2 , 1*-3+2*-1/1+2) = (-2+8/3 , -3-2/3) = (6/3 , -5/3)P = (2 , -5/3)now let ratio be 2:1P = (2*-2+1*4/3 , 2*-3+1*-1/3) = (-4+4/3 , -6-1/3) = (0/3 , -7/3)P = (0 , -7/3) | |
