  1. Distance and Midpoints Section 1-3

  2. Definition of Midpoint The midpoint M of is the point between P and Q such that PM = MQ. M Q P

  3. Midpoint Formulas 1. On a number line, the coordinate of the midpoint of a segment whose endpoints have coordinates a and b is M b a -2 8

  4. 2. In a coordinate plane, the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment whose endpoints have coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are

  5. Segment Bisector Any segment, line, or plane that intersects a segment at its midpoint is called a segment bisector.

  6. Midpoint Theorem If M is the midpoint of then

  7. Distance Formulas • On a number line the distance between 2 points on a number line is • On a coordinate plane, the distance between 2 points is A B
