Question

fill in the blank. the ____ of a line segment is a ____ exactly halfway between the two endpoints of the line segment. the dropdown (options: point, midpoint, distance) of a line segment is a dropdown exactly halfway between the two endpoints of the line segment.

Explanation:

For the first blank, we need a term that describes the entity exactly halfway between two endpoints of a line segment. "Midpoint" is the specific term for that, as "point" is too general and "distance" refers to length, not a location.

Answer:

The first blank: midpoint; The second blank: point
