Find the coordinates of the points of trisection (i.e., points dividing in three equal parts) of the line segment joining the points `A(2, 2)\ a n d\ B(7,4)`.

Verified by Experts

`t_1`=1:2
`t_2`=2:1
`t_1(x,y)=((x_2+2x_1)/3,(y_2-2y_1)/3)`
=`((-7+4)/3,(4-4)/3)`
=(-1,0)
`t_2(x,y)=((2(-7)+2)/3,(8+(-2))/3)`
=(-4,3)
