1. Partitioning of Line Segments
1-Variable
And
2-Variable

2. Find a Point that Partitions a Segment in a Given Ratio a:b (1 variable)

3. a: the first part of the ratio
b: the second part of the ratio
X1: first x value given
X2: second x value given

4. Partition – 1 Variable A is at 1, and B is at 7.
Find the point, T, so that T partitions A to B in a 2:1 ratio. a: b:

5. Partition – 1 Variable A is at -6 and B is at 4.
Find the point, T, so that T is A to B in a 2:3 ratio. a: b:

6. Find a Point that Partitions a Segment in a Given Ratio a:b 2 Variables

7. a: the first part of the ratio b: the second part of the ratio
X1: first x-value given y1: first y-value
X2: second x-value given y2: second y-value

8. Find the coordinates of P along the directed line segment AB so that the ratio of AP to PB is 3:2.
In order to divide the segment in the ratio of 3 to 2, think of dividing the segment into or 5 congruent pieces.

9. A(3, 4), B(6, 10); 3 to 2.
To find the coordinates of point P… a: b:
