What is a line segment?

• A line segment is a type of polygon with three sides.
• A line segment is a section of a line created using 2 coordinate points on a plane (AB)

• A line segment is a part of a circle with no endpoints.
• A line segment is a curved line connecting two points.

What is a midpoint?

• A midpoint is the point that divides a segment into two equal parts.
• A midpoint is the point that is equidistant from all other points.
• A midpoint is the point that is closest to the origin.
• A midpoint is the point where two lines intersect.

What is the midpoint formula?

• Midpoint formula: ((x1 + x2) / 2, (y1 + y2) / 2)
• Midpoint formula: ((x1 + y1) / 2, (x2 + y2) / 2)

What is a coordinate plane?

• A coordinate plane is a three-dimensional plane formed by two parallel number lines.
• A coordinate plane is a shape with no axes or origin.
• A coordinate plane is a one-dimensional plane formed by two perpendicular number lines.
• A coordinate plane is a 2D plane with an x -axis (horizontal) and y-axis (vertical) which creates a coordinate (x, y)

What are the coordinate points of the origin?

What does the distance formula do?

• Calculates the distance between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)

• Determines the volume of a sphere
• Finds the slope of a line
