Example: Find the coordinates of point P along the directed line segment AB, A (3,4) and B (8, 14), so that the ratio of AP to PB is 3/2
Step 1: Graph the line segment and label the points.
Step 2: Find the whole number of equal parts
you will be partitioning.
Ratio of AP to PB is 3/2

.
This means...
AP will have
parts

PB will have
parts

So, the whole number of equal
parts will be 5. This means we will cut the line segment AB into 5 parts.
