  1. The Midpoint of a Line Segment

  2. Example:

  3. Midpoint between

  4. Example 1: Determine the midpoint between the points • a) C(-3,10) and D(4,2) • b) J(-3.4,-5.2) and K(0.3,-12)

  5. Example 1: Determine the midpoint between the points • c)

  6. Example 2: • The midpoint of line segment CD is M(2,1). If point C is (-1,3), determine the coordinates of D.

  7. Definition: • A median of a triangle is a line segment that joins a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side.

  8. Example 2:Determine the equation for the median from vertex C for the triangle with vertices C(5,2), A(-3,3) and B(2,-5).

  9. Definition: The right bisector of a line segment is the line that passes though the midpoint of a line segment and intersects it at a 90 degree angle.

  10. Example: SpongeBob lives at the point(-1,4) and Patrick lives at the point (7,-2).Captain Eugene H. Crabs wants to build a KrustyKrab that is equidistant from the two friends. Use an equation to represent the possible locations for the sports complex.
