This formula is the formula that can be used to find the coordinates of a given point that partitions a line segment into ratio <em>k</em>. Therefore, it is the partitioning formula.
*Note: <em>It may be </em><u><em>partition</em></u><em> </em><em>or</em><em> </em><u><em>partitioning</em></u><em>, but I'm not entirely sure which form of the verb will be asked for. </em><em>The partition(ing) formula is sometimes also called the section(ing)</em><em> </em><em>formula</em><em>, so that may be the answer as well, but since it's a fill-in-the-blank, I don't know which one will be asked for. Whichever term you have learned in school lately is probably the right one, but I don't know what you've learned. I looked at some other questions you have asked on your profile, and </em><u><em>partitioning</em></u><em> was an answer choice on some of them, so I believe that </em><u><em>partitioning</em></u><em> is the correct answer here.</em>
