The difference between partitioning a directed line segment MN in a 2:7 ratio versus a 7:2ratio because of following
To understand this let us take the line segment MN which is of a length is divided into 9 equal parts. Here, we are dividing it into nine parts because the proportions 2 and 7 make a sum of 9.
When we divide the line segment MN in the ratio 2:7, the first two parts out of the nine from the left side are separated from the rest 7. This means that the first proportion from the left hand side of the line is smaller than the other.
Now, when we divide the line segment MN in the ratio7:2, the first seven parts out of the nine from the left side are separated from the rest two. This means that the first proportion from the left hand side of the line is larger than the other.
