The ratio of 3 to 2 must be first converted into a percent
Remember, delta is the change or difference in values. You will need to find the delta of x and the delta of y separately.
Find the coordinates of the point P that lies along the directed line segment from A(3, 4) to B(6, 10) and partitions the segment in the ratio 3 to 2.
Can you find the point on a line segment that partitions the segment into a given ratio?
The triangle is the symbol used to represent delta.
Step 1: Convert the ratio
Step 2: Determine delta of x and y
Step 3: Determine the increase in x and y
Step 4: Calculate the new point
Original Coordinates: A(3, 4) to B(6, 10)
Original Coordinates: A(3, 4) to B(6, 10)
A ratio is a comparison of two quantities.
The ratio of a to b can be expressed as:
To determine how much to increase x and y, the delta of x and the delta of y must each be multiplied by the converted ratio.
The last step is to add the amount of change in x and y determined in Step 3 to the original x and y value of the first endpoint.
The directed line segment from A(3, 4) to B(6, 10) is partitioned at the ratio of 3 to 2 at point P(4.8, 7.6).
