  1. Line Segments, Distance and Midpoint CC Standard G-GPE.6 Find the point on a directed line segment between two given points that partitions the segment in a given ratio. At the end of this lesson, you should be able to answer the following question: How do you find the point on a directed line segment that partitions the segment in a given ratio? Partitioning a Segment

  2. Point P divides in the ratio 3 to 1. • What does this mean?

  3. = -1 = -7 Slope = m = = 1 -1 7 -7

  4. m = -4 5

  5. Slope Formula The slope of a line through the points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is as follows: y2–y1 x2–x1 m =

  6. Ex. Find the slope of the line that passes through (–2, –3) and (4, 6). y2 – y1 = x2 – x1 6 – (–3) 3 9 4 – (–2) 3 The slope of the line that passes through (–2, –3) and (4, 6) is . 6 2 2 = = Let (x1, y1) be (–2, –3) and (x2, y2) be (4, 6). Substitute 6 for y2, –3 for y1, 4 for x2, and –2 for x1. *** Always reduce your fractions****

  7. Example 1: Find the coordinate of point P that lies along the directed line segment from A(3, 4) to B(6, 10) and partitions the segment in the ratio of 3 to 2. Directed Line Segment: Tells the direction in which from which point to start and end. In this case, from Point A to Point B So point A must be labeled A and B What does that tell you about the distance AP and PB in relation to AB?

  8. Partitioning a segment • Label your points and Note: since it is a directed segment, order does matter. 2. Convert the ratio into a percent (keep as a fraction) a:b Percent ratio (%) 3. Find the rise and run for the segment (order does matter) Rise: Run: 4. To find the partitioning point: x – coordinate: x1-coordinate + run(% in fraction form) y - coordinate: y1 -coordinate + rise(% in fraction form)

  9. Find the coordinate of point P that lies along the directed line segment from A(3, 4) to B(6, 10) and partitions the segment in the ratio of 3 to 2. 1. Label your points. (note: Since it is a directed segment, order does matter, so A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) ). 2. Convert the ratio into a percent 3. Find the rise and run for AB 4. The slope of AP must be the same as AB. So, to find the coordinates of P, add 60% of the run to the x-coordinate of A and add 60% of the rise to the y-coordinate of A How can you use the distance formula to check that P partitions in the ratio of 3 to 2?

  10. Example 2: Find the coordinates of the point P that lies along the directed segment from A(1, 1) to B(7, 3) and partitions the segment in the ratio of 1 to 4

  11. Example 3: Find the coordinates of point P that lies along the directed line segment from M to N and partitions the segment in the ratio of 3 to 2

  12. Essential question: • How do you find the point on a directed line segment that partitions the segment in a given ratio?
