How do you find the coordinate of the midpoint of a line segment?
The 'x' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'x' coordinates of the segment's ends. The 'y' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'y' coordinates of the segment's ends.
Does midpoints mean parallel?
No, midpoint is the middle point of a line segment. It is the same distance from both ends.
Does a segment have one two or no endpoints?
A line segment has two endpoints. Lines are infinite, so they have no endpoints; while rays start at one point and continue infinitely; and line segments are completely finite, so they have endpoints at both ends.
A line with 2 terminating ends?
Line segment ------------------ By the way, what are ends that are not terminating?
Is a piece of chalk a line segment?
yes it si a line segment because it ends
How do you find the coordinate of the midpoint of a line segment?
The 'x' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'x' coordinates of the segment's ends. The 'y' coordinate of the midpoint is the average of the 'y' coordinates of the segment's ends.
What is midpoint?
The point on a line segment that is equidistant from the ends of the segment. So pretty much a point in the middle of a segment
What is a midpoint of a line?
For a line segment the midpoint is equidistant from both ends.However a full line in geometry can have no midpoint as it has no ends and extends to infinity both ways.
Midpoint (-15) (-62)?
The point on a line segment that is equidistant from the ends of the segment. So pretty much a point in the middle of a segment
To find the midpoint of a segment fold the paper so that the two endpoints of the sement match up?
If you fold the line segment in half so that the two ends are touching and then crease the paper, the crease will go right through the midpoint of the line segment.
Does midpoints mean parallel?
No, midpoint is the middle point of a line segment. It is the same distance from both ends.
What is the relationship between lines and line segments?
A "line" doesn't stop and doesn't have ends. A "segment" does and has.
Is the midpoint of a line found by averaging the vaule's of any two points a line?
You're on the right track, but that's a rather imprecise ... not to say 'sloppy' ... way to say it. The "value" of a point on the line is a meaningless concept. And averaging two points gives only the location of the point midway between those two points. The 'x' coordinate of the midpoint of a line segment is the average of the 'x' coordinates of its ends. The 'y' coordinate of the midpoint of a line segment is the average of the 'y' coordinates of its ends.
What are similarities between lines and line segments?
They both are made of lines, but a line segment is only a certain distance while a line ever ends.
What begins and ends with a point?
A segment.
What is the difference of AB line and AB line segment?
The difference is that lines go on forever and line segments start at a certain point and ends at a certain point.
Does a segment have one two or no endpoints?
A line segment has two endpoints. Lines are infinite, so they have no endpoints; while rays start at one point and continue infinitely; and line segments are completely finite, so they have endpoints at both ends.
