Question

what are the points of trisection of the segment joined by (-2, 8) and (10, -1)?

Answer 1

its easy
take the difference of 2 points
then multiply them by 1/3 and 2/3

Answer 2

it has to be 1/3 and 2/3 all the time?

Answer 3

(10,-1)- (-2,8) = (12,9)
now multiply by 1/3
12/3=4 ,9/3= 3
(4,3)
and
to for 2nd point multiply by 2/3 and tell me the answer

Answer 4

yes that's same for all

Answer 5

i figured that my working equation should something like this\[Xr= X1+r(X2-X!) & Yr=Y1+r(Y2-Y1)\] for both points

Answer 6

and later
add the initial points in your answers
like (4,3) + (-2,8)

Answer 7

oh
okay then

Answer 8

i think i get it now thanks
