Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the coordinates of the points of trisection of the line segment joining the points \(A(4, -1)\) and \(B(-2, -3)\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Concept of Trisection Trisection means dividing the line segment into three equal parts. Therefore, we need to find two points \(P\) and \(Q\) such that \(AP = PQ = QB\). ### Step 2: Identify the Coordinates of Points Let: - \(A(x_1, y_1) = (4, -1)\) ...
