Answer 2

Answer:

There is only one mid-point for the line segments.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since mid- point is the point which is always lies in the middle of the line segment.

Consider a straight line  having co-ordinates as  (2,0)  and (4,0)

We know the mid point formula $(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}  }{2} ,\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}  }{2})$

We have $x_{1} =2 ,x_{2}=4, y_{1}=0, y_{2} =0$

So, mid point is given by ($(\frac{2+4}{2} , \frac{0+0}{2} )$= (3,0)

There is only one mid-point for the line segments.
