Answer:

(1, 6).  The second is (-1 + 2 + 2, 1 + 1 + 1), or (3, 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Moving from P to Q, we see that x increases by 6  and y increases by 3.

"Trisect" means "divide into three equal subintervals."

We find (1/3) of 6 (which comes out to 2) and (1/3) of 3 (which comes out to 1).  

Thus, the first junction (between 1st and 2nd trisection) is (-1 + 2, 5 + 1), or (1, 6).  The second is (-1 + 2 + 2, 1 + 1 + 1), or (3, 3)
