There is something missing from this question. It cannot be answered as it appears.
A line segment is a straight line that has endpoints.
We're having a bit of trouble making out the line shown. "ab" and "ac" would not be the labels of a point ... they would be the labels of two line segments both emanating from the same point called "a". So your point has to be either 'b' or 'd' or both. We'll be able to put a finer point on it if you'll let us have a look at the picture of the line that goes along with the question.
Point B
Using a compass and ruler: # Label the ends of the line you wish to bisect as A and B. # Construct two circles centred at A and B, large enough that they almost reach the other point and have the same size. Label the points they intersect at as C and D. # Draw a straight line between C and D. The point it intersects the original line is the halfway point; any bisector must pass through that point.

In a number line, point A will appear to the left of point B if A is less than B. Conversely, if A is greater than B, it will appear to the right of B. If A and B are equal, they will occupy the same point on the number line.
A line segment is a straight line that has endpoints.
The length of the line segment BB' is equal to the distance between point B and point B'.

The equation of a vertical line passing through the point (a, b) is x a.
If the point is x=a, y=b ie the point (a,b) , then your line is y-b=m(x-a) where m is the gradient (anything you like).
The fastest way from point A to point B is usually a straight line, as long as there are no obstacles in the way.
Point B
To reflect a figure across the line ( y = x ), you swap the coordinates of each point in the figure. For a point ((a, b)), its reflection would be ((b, a)). This process is applied to every point in the figure, resulting in the entire figure being mirrored across the line ( y = x ).
If it is the equation for a line, then it can be rearranged into the format y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line, and b is the point where the line intercepts the y-axis.If it is not for a straight line, then the slope is changing with x, and the derivative of the function would find the slope at a particular x.
To determine if a point is on a line, you can substitute the coordinates of the point into the equation of the line. If the equation holds true after substitution, the point lies on the line. For example, for a line defined by (y = mx + b), if you plug in the x-coordinate of the point and the resulting y-value matches the y-coordinate of the point, then it is on the line. Otherwise, the point is not on the line.
