Question

What is the name of the line that passes through the midpoint of a given line segment and is also perpendicular

Answer 1

The name of the line segment that passes through the midpoint of a given line segment and is also perpendicular is called the perpendicular bisector.

Step-by-step explanation:

• The term 'perpendicular bisector' has two different words.

1. perpendicular - a line that is perpendicular to another line
2. bisector - a line that divides any line segment into two

• Thus the two terms combined talks about a line that is both perpendicular and divides any line into two.
