Key Topics • Midpoint – the point halfway between the endpoints of a segment • The midpoint M of PQ is the point between P and Q such that PM = PQ P M Q
Key Topics • Midpoint on a number line – the coordinate of the midpoint of a segment whose endpoints have coordinates A and B is A B
Key Topics • Midpoint on a coordinate plane – the coordinates of the midpoint of a segment whose endpoints have coordinates (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are ( ) Q (x2,y2) M( ) P (x1,y1)
Key Topics • Segment Bisector – any line, segment, or plane that intersects a segment at its midpoint • Construction of a bisector
