Math Tutorial 14.5 - Line Segments

There are 5 lessons in this math tutorial covering Line Segments. The tutorial starts with an introduction to Line Segments and is then followed with a list of the separate lessons, the tutorial is designed to be read in order but you can skip to a specific lesson or return to recover a specific math lesson as required to build your math knowledge of Line Segments. You can access all the lessons from this tutorial below.

In this Math tutorial, you will learn:

  • What are intervals and segments?
  • What are half-intervals and half-segments?
  • How to show intervals and segments on a number line?
  • What is a line segment? What is its importance?
  • How do we find the midpoint of a line segment?
  • How do we find the length of a line segment?
  • How do we find the missing coordinates of a point on a line segment if the ratios are known?

Introduction

Do you remember from chapter 10 what segments and intervals are? What do they have in common? Where do they differ from each other?

Do you always need the whole graph when dealing with linear graphs? Is it possible to plot the whole graph on a coordinates system? Why? What do you do in such cases?

Suggest an idea of how to find the midpoint of a segment with known endpoints. What about a point with known distance ratios from the endpoints of a segment?

No worries if you don't know how to answer; this tutorial will help you deal with all parts of a linear graph you are interested in without considering the whole graph.
