In Notes:
Example: Given the points A(­3,­4) and B(2,0), find the coordinates of point P that partitions the directed line segment in the ratio 2:3. Example: Find the coordinates of point P that partitions the directed line segment in a ratio of 1:4. 1. Convert the ratio to a decimal
1. Convert the ratio to a decimal
2. Find the rise and run
2. Find the rise and run
Total Rise (y)=
Total Run (x)=
3. Calculate the x and y values of P Total Rise (y)=
Total Run (x)=
3. Calculate the x and y values of P x­value: starting x­value + (decimal)(run)
x­value: starting x­value + (decimal)(run)
y­value: starting y­value + (decimal) (rise)
y­value: starting y­value + (decimal) (rise)
