Find the point that partitions a directed segment between two points in a given ratio.
Compare internal and external partition points
Problem
Is this an internal or external partition: point is between \(A\) and \(B\)?
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Internal and external describe location relative to the endpoints, not whether the two pieces are equal. We’ll record the stated point order, compare it with the between-endpoints and beyond-endpoint definitions, classify the partition from that location, and avoid adding an unsupported midpoint claim.
