3. The midpoint formula for two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is M = ( , ).
4. A perpendicular bisector not only bisects a segment but also forms a angle with the segment.
5. Find the midpoint of the segment with endpoints ( -4, 7 ) and ( 6, -3 ).
6. Segment CD has endpoints C(-2, 5) and D(8, -1). Point M is the midpoint of CD. What are the coordinates of M?
