Aim #13: How do we divide segments into proportional, equal parts (day 2)?
Do Now: 1) What are the coordinates of the point on the directed line segment
from D(-5,-1) to E(7,2) that partitions the segment in the ratio 2:1? Use of the
grid is optional.
2) Find the midpoint of:
a) (-8, 7) and (-2, -3)
b) (-7, 4) and (2, 5)
3) If the midpoint of segment AB is M(1,-2) and A is (6,1) find the coordinates of
point B.
4) Given points P(10,10) and Q(0,4), find point R on PQ such that
picture.
. Draw a
5) A robot is at position A(40,50) and is heading toward the point B(2000,2000)
along a straight line at a constant speed. The robot will reach point B in 10 hours.
a. What is the location of the robot at the end of the third hour?
b. What is the location of the robot 5 minutes before it reaches point B?
c. If the robot keeps moving along the straight path at the same constant speed
as it passes through point B, what will be its location at the twelfth hour?
6) Given points A(3,-5) and B(19,-1), find the coordinates of point C that sits
of the way along AB, closer to A than to B.
7) Point C lies of the way along AB, closer to B than to A. If the coordinates of
point A are (12,5) and the coordinates of point C are (9.5, -2.5), what are the
coordinates of point B?
8) a. If the midpoint of segment AB is M(-1, 5) and A is (-4,3) find the coordinates
of point B.

point E. What is the ratio of ED : DF?
of EF from
11) Point P partitions directed segment AB in the ratio of 3:4. If A(-9,-9) and
B(5,-2), find the coordinates of point P.
12) Given a directed segment from M to N as shown below. Find the coordinates of
partition point P that divides the segment into a 5:2 ratio.
13) Pirate Pete has buried his treasure in a shallow lagoon. He drew a map, shown
below, to help remember the exact location. Follow the 3 steps to find the
coordinates of the treasure.
1st- P1 partitions the directed segment from the rock to the coral in a ratio of
1:2. Label P1.
2nd- P2 partitions the directed segment from
the water plant to the log in a ratio of 4:1. Label P2.
3rd- The treasure will be located at the
midpoint of the segment connecting P1 and P2.
At what point is the treasure buried?
14) Directed segment AB is divided by construction into 5 equal segments. Which
of the points divides AB in the ratio of 2 to 3?

line path at a constant rate. Fifteen minutes into its journey the robot is at
A(35,80).
a. If the robot does not change speed or direction, where will it be 3 hours into
its journey (call this point B)?
