Using the distance formula the length of the line segment from (10, -3) to (1, -3) is 9 units which means that the line segment is partitioned by 2 units and 7 units.

To find the coordinates of point R plot the above information on the Cartesian plane.

What do you call half a cylinder?

If the cylinder is cut in half along the side it is still a cylinder. If the cylinder is cut in half along one of the circular faces it is a horizontal cylindrical segment, which would look like a pig trough not hollowed out.


Is a ray line segment or line longer?

Let's think of a line segment as a finite set of points. Along those lines, (pun intended) think of a ray and a line as infinite sets of points. Then we think of longer in terms of the size of the set. So for example, a 2 inch line segment would be longer than a 1 inch line segment because we can have more points in the set which is made of the two inch segment. The ray and the line are the same size since they both can be viewed as sets containing an infinite number of points. The line segment being a finite set is smaller than the other two.


When you have a negative slope is the whole thing negative?

What is the "whole thing?" Also, if a line has a negative slope, it doesn't mean that all points on the line have negative coordinates. It just means that for every increase in x, there is a decrease in y. On a straight line, the gradient is the same all the way along. Which, if this is how you meant it, the "whole thing" is negative. However not all coordinates will be negative.

How do you find the coordinates of point R that lies along the directed segment from J ( 10 - 3 ) to K ( 1 - 3 ) and partitions the segment in the ratio of 2 to 7?

The length of the line works out as 9 units and so by plotting the information on the Cartesian plane the exact location of the partition at R can be found.

If you travel along the length of the segment from one end to the other, whether it is curved or straight, you can measure its length. The midpoint is the spot on the segment at this mid length, equidistant from the endpoints when moving on the segment.
