Lesson Plan: Partitioning a Line Segment on the Coordinate Plane Mathematics
This lesson plan includes the objectives and prerequisites of the lesson teaching students how to find the coordinates of a point that divides a line segment on the coordinate plane with a ratio using the section formula.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- find the coordinates of a point that divides a line segment on the coordinate plane into a given ratio using the section formula,
- find the ratio at which a line segment is divided by a given point.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- the definition of a directed line segment,
- Vectors.
