Points and Line Segments

In the realm of geometry, two fundamental concepts exist - points and line segments. A point is a unique position in space that doesn't have any size, while a line segment, on the other hand, represents a portion of a line which is defined by its two endpoints. The measurement of a line segment is essentially the distance between these two endpoints, expressed in units of length.

Finding a Point's Quadrant

In which quadrant is the point (-3, 4) located?

Finding the Midpoint of a Line Segment

9. The line segment $A B$ has the endpoints $A(2,-3)$ and $B(-4,-9)$. Point $C$ partitions the line at a ratio of $2: 1$. What are the coordinates of point $C$ ? $(-1,-10)$ $(-2,-7)$ $(4,1)$ $(-3,0)$

Distance Formula

Find the distance $d\left(P_{1}, P_{2}\right)$ between the given points $P_{1}$ and $P_{2}$. \[ \begin{array}{l} P_{1}=(4,2) \\ P_{2}=(-1,4) \end{array} \]

Finding Equations Using Slope-Intercept

Given the points (2, 3) and (4, 7) on a line, find the equation of the line in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b).

Finding the Slope

Given two points on a plane, A(2, 3) and B(5, 7), find the slope of the line segment AB.

Finding the y Intercept

Given the points (6, 8) and (4, 12) on a line, find the y-intercept of the line.
