उत्तर
The coordinates of a point which divided two points `(x_1,y_1)` and `(x_2, y_2)` internally in the ratio m:n is given by the formula,
`(x,y) = ((mx_2 + nx_1)/(m + n), (my_2 + ny_1)/(m + n))`
The points of trisection of a line are the points which divide the line into the ratio 1: 2.
Here we are asked to find the points of trisection of the line segment joining the points A(5,−6) and B(−7,5).
So we need to find the points which divide the line joining these two points in the ratio 1: 2 and 2: 1.
Let P(x, y) be the point which divides the line joining ‘AB’ in the ratio 1 : 2.
`(x,y) = (((1-(-7) + 2(5))/(1 +2 ))","((1(5) + 2(-6))/(1+ 2)))`
`(x, y) = (1, 7/3)`
Let Q(e, d) be the point which divides the line joining ‘AB’ in the ratio 2 : 1.
(e, d) = `(((1(5) + 2(-7))/(1 + 2))", "((1(-6) + 2(5))/(1 + 2))`
`(e,d) = (-3, 4/3)`
Therefore the points of trisection of the line joining the given points are `(1,7/3) and (-3, 4/3)`

A tiling or tessellation of a flat surface is the covering of a plane using one or more geometric shapes, called tiles, with no overlaps and no gaps. Historically, tessellations were used in ancient Rome and in Islamic art. You may find tessellation patterns on floors, walls, paintings etc. Shown below is a tiled floor in the archaeological Museum of Seville, made using squares, triangles and hexagons.
A craftsman thought of making a floor pattern after being inspired by the above design. To ensure accuracy in his work, he made the pattern on the Cartesian plane. He used regular octagons, squares and triangles for his floor tessellation pattern
