Midpoint of a Line Segment Flashcard

Front

What is the midpoint of a line segment?

Back

The midpoint of a line segment is the point that divides the segment into two equal parts. It can be calculated using the formula: M = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2).

What is a perpendicular bisector?

Back

A perpendicular bisector is a line that divides a line segment into two equal parts at a 90-degree angle.

Front

What does it mean for two angles to be congruent?

Back

Two angles are congruent if they have the same measure.

Front

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

Back

The slope-intercept form is given by the equation y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

Front

How do you find the slope of a line given two points?

Back

The slope (m) can be calculated using the formula m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1).

Front

What is a linear pair of angles?

Back

A linear pair of angles are two adjacent angles that form a straight line, and they are supplementary.

Front

What does it mean for two lines to be parallel?

Back

Two lines are parallel if they have the same slope and will never intersect.

Front

What is the relationship between the slopes of perpendicular lines?

Back

The slopes of two perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals of each other, meaning if one slope is m, the other is -1/m.

Front

What is the equation of a line that is parallel to y = 2x + 3?

Back

Any line parallel to y = 2x + 3 will have the same slope of 2, so it can be written as y = 2x + b, where b is any real number.

Front

What is the definition of supplementary angles?

Back

Supplementary angles are two angles whose measures add up to 180 degrees.
