Best Answer

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.

What is difference between midpoint theorem and definition of midpoint?

Definition of midpoint: a point, line, or plane that bisects a line so that AB=BC Midpoint theorem: a point, or plane that bisects a line so that line AB is congruent to line BC.

Why a line segment has only one midpoint but can have many bisectors?

All bisectors intersect the line segment at the midpoint. There can be multiple bisectors, intersecting at the midpoint at different angles, but they all intersect the line segment at its midpoint. The midpoint separates the line segment into two equal halves.


Is the midpoint of a line the same as the slope of a line?

No. The midpoint of a line is the middle point on the line, while the slope is a measure of how the line is oriented.
