Solution

trisection means dividing something into three equal parts. here trisection means dividing the line into three equal parts.
so AP=PQ=QB
on observing the figure we can understand that the unknown point Q is also the midpoint of P and B
thus the cordinates of the points are( (5+-1)/2,(-3+5)/2)=(2,1)
