One thing it means is that the two distances from the point

to the ends of the segment are equal.

What does bisector mean in math?

In mathematics, a bisector is a line, ray, or segment that divides an angle or a segment into two equal parts. For example, an angle bisector splits an angle into two congruent angles, while a segment bisector divides a line segment into two equal lengths. Bisectors are fundamental in geometry, often used in constructions and proofs.

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.

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 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
