Use the applet below to practice partitioning line segments. [br][br]1. Start with Example 1 (already selected). [br]2. Move points A & B to the given coordinates. [br]3. Move the 3rd unlabeled point so that it would form a right triangle [b][u]above the segment[/u][/b] with points A & B to find the slope of [math]\overline{AB}[/math]. [br]4. Click the Rise & Run (in the red) check boxes to reveal the values of rise and run. [br]5. Input the given ratio (in light blue) in the boxes provided below.[br]6. Click the 3 remaining check boxes to see how the segment is partitioned into the ratio you input.[br][br]**Please take notes for these 4 examples.**
