2. Which of the following statements about a point on the perpendicular bisector of a segment is true?
It is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment.
It is parallel to the segment.
It forms a 45-degree angle with the segment.
It only intersects the segment at one endpoint.
3. The of a segment is a line that passes through the midpoint of the segment and is perpendicular to it.
