Line Segments

A 2D shape

A motorised transporter also known as a Segway

A line that connects two points

A group of people lining up outside on wet cement

Somewhere near the middle of a line

The exact middle of a line joining 2 points

There is no point

Any point along a line segment

Midpoint = $\left[\frac{\left(x_1+x_2\right)}{2},\ \frac{\left(y_1+y_2\right)}{2}\right]$

Midpoint =
$\left[\left(y_1+x_2\right),\ \left(y_1+y2\right)\right]$

Midpoint = $\left[\frac{\left(x_1+x_2\right)}{2},\ \frac{\left(x_1+x_2\right)}{2}\right]$

Midpoint = $\left[\frac{\left(x_1+x_2\right)}{3},\ \frac{\left(y_1+y_2\right)}{3}\right]$

$\left(x_2-x_1\right)^{ }+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^{ }$

$\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2}$

$\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^2+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^2}$

$\sqrt{\left(x_2-x_1\right)^3+\left(y_2-y_1\right)^3}^{ }$

So the pilot knows when to have a lunch break

It's a good place to throw out any passengers causing problems

Plane's can't fly without the midpoint being programmed into the engines computer

If there is a problem with the plane's engine, it can be used to determine whether to keep going or head back

The exact middle of a line segment is called the midpoint

A line segment is a straight line connecting to points

If a line segment has no midpoint it is called a pointless line

The midpoint can be calculated by finding the average of the x coordinates and the average of the y coordinates for the endpoints
