∴ 7 = $\frac{2m+9n}{m+n}$

∴ 7(m + n) = 2m + 9n

∴ 7m + 7n = 2m + 9n

∴ 7m − 2m = 9n − 7n

∴ 5m = 2n

A(2,7) and B(−4, −8)

Let P(x₁, y₁) and Q(x₂, y₂) be the points of trisection.

∴ AP = PQ = QB    ….(i)

∴ $\frac{AP}{PB}$ = $\frac{AP}{PQ+QB}$         ….(P—Q—B)

∴ $\frac{AP}{PB}$ = $\frac{AP}{AP+AP}$       ….[from (i)]

∴ $\frac{AP}{PB}$ = $\frac{AP}{2AP}$

∴ AP : PB = 1 : 2

∴ P divides segment AB in the ratio 1 : 2.

By section formula for ratio m : n

x₁ = $\frac{1(-4)+2(2)}{1+2}$ = $\frac{-4+4}{3}$ = 0

and y₁ = $\frac{1(-8)+2(7)}{1+2}$ = $\frac{-8+14}{3}$ = $\frac{6}{3}$ = 2

∴ x₁  = 0 and y₁  = 2

∴ the coordinates of point P are (0, 2).

AP = PQ    ….[from (i)]

∴ P(x₁, y₁) is the midpoint of AQ.

By midpoint formula,

∴ 0 = $\frac{x_2+2}{2}$ and 2 = $\frac{y_2+7}{2}$

∴ x₂ = −2  and y₂ = −3

∴ the coordinates of point Q are (−2, −3).

Let P, Q and R be the points that divide segment AB into four equal parts.

Let P(x₁, y₁), Q(x₂, y₂) and R(x₃, y₃).

Q is the midpoint of seg AB.

∴ by midpoint formula,

x₂ = $\frac{-14+6}{2}$ = $\frac{-8}{2}$ = −4

y₂ = $\frac{-10+(-6)}{2}$ = $\frac{-12}{2}$ = −6

The coordinates of point Q are (−4, −6).

P is the midpoint of seg AQ.

∴ by midpoint formula,

x₁ = $\frac{-14+(-4)}{2}$ = $\frac{-18}{2}$ = −9

y₁ = $\frac{-10+(-6)}{2}$ = $\frac{-16}{2}$ = −8

∴ the coordinates of point P are (−9, −8).

R is the midpoint of seg QB.

∴ by midpoint formula,

x₃ = $\frac{-4+6)}{2}$ = $\frac{2}{2}$ = 1

y₃ = $\frac{-6+(-2)}{2}$ = $\frac{-8}{2}$ = −4

∴ the coordinates of point R are (1, −4).

Answer is: The coordinates of the points which divide segment AB into four equal parts are (−9, −8), (−4, −6) and (1, − 4).

A(20, 10) and B(0, 20).

Let points P(x1, y1), Q(x2, y2), R(X3, y3) and S(x4, y4)

divide seg AB into five congruent parts.

∴ AP = PQ = QR = RS = SB     ... (1)

∴ $\frac{AP}{PB}$ = $\frac{AP}{PQ+QR+RS+SB}$         ….(P—Q—R, Q—R—S, R—S—B,)

∴ $\frac{AP}{PB}$ = $\frac{AP}{4AP}$

∴ AP : PB = 1 : 4

∴ P divides AB in the ratio 1 : 4.

By section formula,

∴ x₁ = $\frac{(1)(0)+4(20)}{1+4}$ = $\frac{80}{5}$ = 16

and y₁ = $\frac{(1)(20)+4(10)}{1+4}$ = $\frac{60}{5}$ = 12

∴ the coordinates of point P are (16, 12).

P is the midpoint of seg AQ,

∴ by midpoint formula,

∴ the coordinates of point Q are (12, 14).

R is the midpoint of seg PB.

∴ by midpoint formula,

∴ the coordinates of point R are (8, 16).

S is the midpoint of seg RB.

∴ by midpoint formula,

∴ the coordinates of point S are (4, 18).

Answer is: (16, 12), (12, 14), (8, 16) and (4, 18) are the coordinates of the points which divide segment AB into five congruent parts.
