On a coordinate plane, a line is drawn from point K to point J. Point K is at (160, 120) and point J is at (negative 40, 80).

On a coordinate plane, a line is drawn from point A to point B. Point A is at (negative 8, negative 13) and point B is at (4, 11).

Why is partitioning a directed line segment into a ratio of 1:3 not the same as finding the length of the directed line segment?


If point P is of the distance from M to N, what ratio does the point P partition the directed line segment from M to N into?

Where will her cut be located? Round to the nearest tenth.

On a number line, the directed line segment from Q to S has endpoints Q at –8 and S at 12. Point R partitions the directed line segment from Q to S in a 4:1 ratio.Which expression correctly uses the formula to find the location of point R?
