First find the x-coordinate of the point 1/3
of the way from A to B
-------------------
Take the difference:

--------------------
Take 1/3 of this:

------------
Add this to

---------------------
Find the y-coordinate of the point 1/3
of the way from A to B
---------------------
Take the difference:

-------------------
Take 1/3 of this:

--------------
Add this to

-------------------
The point 1/3
of the way from A to B is: ( 0,1 )
---------------------------
Now you can use the fact that the 2/3 point
is midway between this point and B
x-coordinate:

and
y-coordinate:

--------------------
The points are:
( 0,1 ) and ( 3,6 )
You can draw this to check
