Question

SON 17-2 PRACTICE

11. Make use of structure. Point R lies along the directed line segment
from Y(-1,-4) to X(7,6) and partitions the segment into the ratio 1 to 4,
What is the slope of YX, and how does this slope compare to the slope
of YR?

Answer 1

Answer: they are the same!

Think about this, if R lies on segment YX then the slope of YX and YR is the same, it doesn't matter where R is on the line (I hope I understood the question right if I didn't I'm sorry!)
