First, it needs to be a line segment: a line is infinitely long and so has no midpoint.Suppose the line to be bisected is AB. Place the point of a pair of compasses at A with an arc which is greater than half AB. Draw arcs above and below the line segment. Then, move the compass point to B and without changing the arc width, draw fresh arcs to intercept the previous ones at points X and Y. The intersection of the line segment XY and AB is the midpoint of AB.

segment AB
To construct segment EF with a length equal to the sum of segments AB (5) and CD (8), first draw segment AB measuring 5 units. Then, from one endpoint of segment AB, use a compass to measure out 8 units to create segment CD. Finally, connect the endpoint of segment CD to the endpoint of segment AB to form segment EF, which will measure 13 units in total.
If you mean end point A is (3, 5) and midpoint of line AB is (-2, 8) then end point B is (-7, 11)
The perpendicular bisector of a line segment AB is the straight line perpendicular to AB through the midpoint of AB.
If M is the midpoint of segment AB, then AMis congruent to MB.
Find the midpoint of the two diagonals
(5/2,11/2)
First, it needs to be a line segment: a line is infinitely long and so has no midpoint.Suppose the line to be bisected is AB. Place the point of a pair of compasses at A with an arc which is greater than half AB. Draw arcs above and below the line segment. Then, move the compass point to B and without changing the arc width, draw fresh arcs to intercept the previous ones at points X and Y. The intersection of the line segment XY and AB is the midpoint of AB.
To find the length of segment AB, we can use the segment addition postulate, which states that the total length of a segment is equal to the sum of the lengths of its parts. Therefore, AB + BC = AC. Given that AC = 78 mm and BC = 29 mm, we can substitute these values into the equation to find AB: AB + 29 = 78. Solving for AB, we get AB = 78 - 29 = 49 mm.
B is (-5, 9).
Median of a trapezoid is a line segment found on the midpoint of the legs of a trapezoid. It is also known as mid-line or mid-segment. Its basic formula is AB + CD divided by 2.
If the coordinate of A is x, and that of the midpoint of AB, M, is m then the distance AM is m-x so the distance AB = 2*(m-x) So the coordinate of B is x + 2*(m-x) = 2m-x For coordinates in more than one dimension, apply the above rule separately for each dimension.
