Study Notes

Partitioning Line Segments

  • Points A and B are used as endpoints for segments needing partitioning.
  • P represents the point dividing the segment in specified ratios.

Ratios and Coordinates

  • P partitions segment AB in a ratio of 5:1 for A(2,4) and B(8,10), resulting in coordinates (7,9).
  • Using A(-5,4) and B(7,-4) to find partition P in a ratio of 1:3 yields coordinates (-2,6).
  • Given M(-1,2) and N(7,14), point Q partitions MN in the ratio of 1:3, resulting in coordinates (1,5).
  • For points J(-1,2) and K(5,2) partitioned in a 1:2 ratio, L's coordinates are (1,2).
  • A(-3,-4) and B(5,0) give point P coordinates (0.2, -2.4) for a 2:3 ratio.
  • The directed segment from A(-2,-5) to B(6,-1) gives P coordinates (0,-4) in a 1:3 ratio.
  • In segment AB, A(2,-6) and B(6,-10) yield P coordinates (3,-5) at a 1:3 ratio.
  • From points (-3,-2) to (4,8), point P coordinates (1.2, 4) partition in a ratio of 3:2.
  • Endpoint coordinates R(-4,5) and W(6,20) with RP:PW in a 2:3 ratio give point P at (0,11).
  • For points J(3,5) and K(8,-5), point M divides in a 2:3 ratio, resulting in coordinates (5,9).
  • Segments with A(-8,-8) and B(2,7) partitioned in a ratio of 2:3 lead to P at (-4,-2).
  • Lastly, A(-9,-9) and B(5,-2) give P coordinates (-3,-6) for a ratio of 3:4.
