Find the point on a directed line segment between two given points
that partitions the segment in a given ratio.
Subject Area: Mathematics
Grade: 912
Domain-Subdomain: Geometry: Expressing Geometric Properties with Equations
Cluster: Level 1: Recall
Cluster: Use coordinates to prove simple geometric theorems algebraically. (Geometry - Major Cluster) -
Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
