First find the x distance and the y distance between the endpoints.
X distance:
Divide the distance by distance between the points.

Y distance:
Divide the distance by to find the distance between the points. .

Now start at the first point and add (,) to get the next point.
(,)=(,)
Do the same thing with the new starting point.
()+(,)=(,)=(,)
And again to get the final point which should be (,).
()+(,)=(,)=(,)=(,)
