1. A segment bisector is a that divides a line segment into two segments.
2. The point where a segment bisector intersects the segment is called the .
3. A perpendicular bisector is a segment bisector that is also to the segment.
4. In the diagram below, if point M is the midpoint of segment AB, what is the relationship between AM and MB?
5. Which of the following can be a segment bisector?
A line segment
A ray
A line
All of the above
6. Segment PQ has a midpoint M. If PM = 3x + 5 and MQ = 2x + 10, find the length of PQ.
7. Find the midpoint of the segment with endpoints A(-3, 7) and B(5, 1).
8. On the dot grid below, draw a line segment and then construct its perpendicular bisector using a compass and straightedge. (You may draw the segment and bisector freehand if you do not have tools).
