Find the coordinates of the points which trisect the line segment joining the points P(4,2, - 6) and Q(10, - 16,6).
Let the point R1, trisects the line PQ i.e., it divides the line in the ratio 1:2
Again, let the point R2 divides PQ internally in the ratio 2: 1. Then,
Hence, required points are (6,-4, - 2) and (8, - 10,2).
