Let P, Q be points of trisection of AB, with P closer to A and Q closer to B. Using your knowledge of how to find the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment, how would you find the coordinates of P and Q? Do this for the case when the points are A (4, 7) and B (16, –2).

P is one-third and Q is two-thirds along the segment. The total change in x is 12 and y is –9. Applying these shifts to A gives P (8, 4) and Q (12, 1).
