HEY!!
A line segment is always of a constant length as it has two end points. so, it should have one and only mid point i.e., half of its length.
For example : let us take a line segment of length 6 cm. Then its mid point is at its half i.e., 6/2=3. Therefore its mid point is at 3cm.

hy
here is your answer.
=================
➡Let us consider a line segment AB.
➡Assume tht it has two midpoints C and D.
➡so,
➡AC=BC and AD=BD.
➡Since C is the midpoint A,C and B are collinear.
➡AC+BC=AB -(1) eq
➡AD+BD=AB -(2)eq
➡from (1) and (2) we get
➡AC+BC=AD+BD
➡2AC=2AD
➡ie AC=AD
➡This means C and D coincides.
➡Therefore every line segments have one and only one midpoint.
