Lesson 6.4 Midpoint Formula & Partitions Concept: Partitions EQ: How do we partition a line segment in the coordinate plane? (G.GPE.6) Vocabulary: Midpoint, Partition, Ratio, Proportion http://app.discoveryeducation.com/player/view/assetGuid/FB2BC94B-3611-4634-99EB-B6F4549F0805 6.2.1: Midpoints and Other Points on Line Segments
Introduction A line segment is a part of a line that is noted by two endpoints, ( and (). You can partition or divide a line segment in lots of different ways. A popular partition is dividing a line segment into two equal parts. The point on the segment where this division occurs is called the midpoint. 6.2.1: Midpoints and Other Points on Line Segments
Guided Practice - Example 1 Calculate the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (–2, 1) and (4, 10). 6.2.1: Midpoints and Other Points on Line Segments
Guided Practice - Example 2 Calculate the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (–8, –4) and (2, 0). 6.2.1: Midpoints and Other Points on Line Segments
Individual Practice – You Try 1 Calculate the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (1, 3) and (4, 5). 6.2.1: Midpoints and Other Points on Line Segments
Guided Practice - Example 3 A line segment has an endpoint at (6, 0) and a midpoint at (3, 1). Determine the coordinates of the other endpoint. 0 + 1 = 1 Add 1 (6, 0) (3, 1) 6 – 3 = 3 Subtract 3 (3, 1) (3 – 3, 1 + 1) = (0, 2) 6.2.1: Midpoints and Other Points on Line Segments
Individual Practice – You Try 2 A line segment has an endpoint at (2, -2) and a midpoint at (3, 0). Determine the coordinates of the other endpoint. 6.2.1: Midpoints and Other Points on Line Segments
Guided Practice - Example 4 Determine the point that is the distance from the endpoint (-3, 7) of the segment with endpoints (-3, 7) and (5, -9). Draw the segment on a coordinate plane. 6.2.1: Midpoints and Other Points on Line Segments
Guided Practice - Example 4 2. Calculate the difference between the x-values |x2 – x1|. _____________ Multiply this answer by the fraction. ________ ______ Move this many unitsto the left or right of your endpoint (-3, 7) on your graph. 6.2.1: Midpoints and Other Points on Line Segments
Guided Practice - Example 4 3. Calculate the difference between the y-values |y2– y1|. _____________ Multiply this answer by the fraction. ________ ______ Move this many unitsup or down from where you left off on the graph from step 2. 4. State the point that is the distance from the endpoint (-3, 7): _________ 6.2.1: Midpoints and Other Points on Line Segments
Guided Practice - Example 5 Given a line segment with endpoints (2, 9) and (-4, -6), what are the coordinates of the point that partitions the segment in the ratio 2:1 ? *Before we can begin, we need to change the ratio to a fraction. The ratio 2:1means 2 pieces to 1 piece. There are a total of 3 pieces that the segment will be partitioned into. So our fraction is 6.2.1: Midpoints and Other Points on Line Segments
