To partition a line segment means to divide the line segment in the
given ratio. The two numbers in the ratio must add together to equal
the total number of pieces.

Example 9:
On a number line, point C is located at -4 and point D is located at 6. At what point must P be located
so that the directed line segment from C to D will be partitioned in a 2:3 ratio?
Example 10:
On a number line, the directed line segment from Q to S has endpoints Q at -2 and S at 8. Point R

Example 11:
A choreographer uses a number line to position dancers for a ballet. Dancers A and B have
coordinates 5 and 23, respectively. Dancer C stands at a point that is 5/6 of the distance from
Dancer A to Dancer B. Where is Dancer C?
Example 12:
A choreographer uses a number line to position dancers for a ballet. Dancers A and B have
coordinates 5 and 23, respectively. Dancer E stands at a point that divides the line segment from
Dancer A to Dancer B in a ratio of 2 to 1. Where is Dancer E?
