P and Q are points of trisection of a line segment joining points A(-8,12) and B (1,-3). P is nearer to A. Find the coordinates of P. Please answer ASAP!!

Answer 1

P is 1/3 of the way from A to B.
The difference in coordinates when moving from A to B is (9,-15)
So, P = A+(3,-5) = (-8,12)+(3,-5) = (-5,7)
and Q = (-5,9) + (3,-5) = (-2,4)
Finally, adding another (3,-5) gets you to (1,-3) = B

If P is 1/n of the way from A to B, P = A + 1/n (B-A)
