A midpoint is the point in the middle.
Obviously, a line cannot have two points in the middle.
why can't a line segment have 2 midpoints????????????????????????????????????????

think of the midpoint of a line as being the half-point of a line
there can only be one point that divides this line into 2 equal parts
A--------MP--------B
A--------C--------B
C is the midpoint of line AB
now, you could find the midpoint of
segment AC
A----MP----C--------B
A-----D----C--------B
so, C is the midpoint of line AB
and D is the midpoint of segment AC
I think you are thinking that since line AB has midpoints D and C, therefore, more than 1 midpoint
but remember,
D is the midpoint of segment AC
C is the midpoint of line AB
hope this helps
