Let  C  and  D  be  the  points  which  divides  the  given  line  AB into   three  equal  parts.Here,  AC:CB=1:2Let  (x1,y1,z1)  be  the  coordinates  of  C∴         x1=1*5+2*21+2=3     and    y1=1*−8+2*11+2=−2            z1=1*3+2*−31+2=−1     So,  C=(3,−2,−1)Now  D  is  mid point of  CBLet  (x2,y2,z2)  be  the  coordinates  of  D∴         x2=3+52=4     and    y2=−8−22=−5            z2=3−12=1           So,  D=(4,−5,1)Hence,  the  required  coordinates  are  C(3,−2,−1)  and  D(4,−5,1).
