What does it mean for a point to be on the perpindicular bisector of a segment?

One thing it means is that the two distances from the point
to the ends of the segment are equal.

Can a line have a midpoint or bisector?
If you mean a line segment, then yes, every line segment has a midpoint. However, some ideas of a line define it as going on forever in a certain plane, so if is it a line without beginning or end, then it can't really have a midpoint since there is nothing to measure from. You would have to define a starting and ending point before it could have a midpoint.
What does mid point mean in geometry?
It is the mid-point of a line segment that has end points
Does midpoints mean parallel?
No, midpoint is the middle point of a line segment. It is the same distance from both ends.
What does adjecent angle mean?
Angles that share a common end point and a common line segment but no common interior point (two angles that are next to each other)
What does construct the bisector mean?
It means to bisect an angle with a compass and a straight edge or rule.
What does it mean to bisect a segment?
well bisector means the line and blahhh blah blahhh idk!
What does bisector mean?
line segment that divided the angle into 2 separate anglesA bisector is something that divides another thing into two equal parts (halves).
What does perpindicular mean?
lines and line segments
What does endpoint mean in math?
It is the point at which a line segment ends!
What does mid point mean in geometry?
It is the mid-point of a line segment that has end points

What is the action of cutting something into two equal parts?
I guess it is a bisector i mean im the one asking the question so i guess it is bisector.
What does adjecant mean?
Angles that share a common end point and a common line segment but no common interior point (two angles that are next to each other)
What is the perpendicular bisector equation of a line segment with endpoints of p q and 7p 3q?
A line with slope m has a perpendicular with slope m' such that:mm' = -1→ m' = -1/mThe line segment with endpoints (p, q) and (7p, 3q) has slope:slope = change in y / change in x→ m = (3q - q)/(7p - p) = 2q/6p = q/3p→ m' = -1/m = -1/(q/3p) = -3p/qThe perpendicular bisector goes through the midpoint of the line segment which is at the mean average of the endpoints:midpoint = ((p + 7p)/2, (q + 3q)/2) = (8p/2, 4q/2) = (4p, 2q)A line through a point (X, Y) with slope M has equation:y - Y = M(x - x)→ perpendicular bisector of line segment (p, q) to (7p, 3q) has equation:y - 2q = -3p/q(x - 4p)→ y = -3px/q + 12p² + 2q→ qy = 12p²q + 2q² - 3pxAnother Answer: qy =-3px +12p^2 +2q^2
