Question

which of the following statements best describes midpoint of a line segment? 1. point at end of line segments 2. a point halfway between the endpoints of a line segments 3. it its any point on a line segments 4. it is the x-coordinate of any point on a line segment.

Answer 1

Hello!

The answer is:

2. A point halfway between the endpoints of a line segment.

Why?

The midpoint of a line segment, is a point that divides the line segment into two equal length sides, no matter the length of the segment, the midpoint will always cut the segment into two equal length sides

The midpoint is an ordinary point located in the middle of the line segment. The x-coordinate of the midpoint is halfway between the x-coordinates of the beginning and the end of the segment. The y-coordinate of the midpoint is halfway between the y-coordinates of the beginning and the end of the segment.

Hence, the correct option is:

2. A point halfway between the endpoints of a line segment.

Have a nice day!
