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.

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).
Point B
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.
The line with a slope m cuts the y-axis at the point (0, b). The value b is called the y-intercept of the line.
Given a point P = (a,b) and slope m, the equation of a line through P with slope m is (y-b) = m(x-a)

A continuous line goes on forever, the mathematic symbol for infinity is a sideways number 8 because U'r able to draw that symbol infinitely over & over again. A normal line starts with a point A & finishes with the point B, but a line that is continuous has no point B.
So you can find out the actual distance from point A to point B.
