Using Midpoint and Distance Formula List of terms you should recognize in a picture and apply formula (as covered in class) midpoint segment bisector the point that divides the segment into two congruent segments. a point, ray, line, line segment, or plane that intersects the segment at its midpoint. A midpoint or a segment bisector bisects a segment. - is a egment bisector. of AB. So, AM = MB and AM = MB. s the midpoint AB. - ofSo, AM MB andAM = MB. ■ A B A 8 The Midpoint Formula The coordinates of the midpoint of a segment are the averages of the x-coordinates and of they-coordinates of the endpoints. If A(x1i Yi) and B(x'l • y2) are points in a coordi□ate plane, then the midpoint M of AB has coordinates ( xi + X:z Yi + Y2J . 2 , 2 The Distance Formula If A(x1 , y1) and .B(x2., y2) are points in a. coordinate plane, then the distance between A and B is X
