You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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 ( ,).
( )+(,)=( , )=(, )=(,)
