Answer:
A single point cannot trisect a line.
The point may divide the segment in the ratio 1:3 or 2:3
We need two points to trisect a line segment.
Let the coordinates of A be A(4,0,1) and coordinates of B be (2,4,0)
Let P be the point which divides the line segment in the ratio 1:2
and Q be the point which divides the line segment in the ratio 2:1
Thus, using section formula, the coordinates of P are:
