Greetings dear Scientists. Yesterday I study Analytical Geometry. And find an interesting formula. ( At least its interesting to me.) Which is Dividing a Line-Segment in a Given Ratio. For better understanding I describe the formula then asking the question.

If you have point1 and point2 in a rectangular coordinate system and you want to segment the line which point1 and point2 it holds you should use this formula:

point1(x1,y1)
point2(x2,y2)

segment ratio => m1:m2

pointSegment(x3,y3)

x3 = (m2*x1 m1*x2) / m1 m2

​

y3= (m2*y1 m1 *y1) / m1 m2

​

if you choose segment ratio 1:1 than its the center of the line.

x3 = (x1 x2) /2
y3 = (y1 y2) /2

I thought this formula can be using virtual memory locations to be better paging. ( I know in paging methods you cant use segmentation method. Because paging needs to be doing in flat memory model. But I don't know why it cant be by using this way)

Thank you for giving a time.
