Question

Find the equation of the line that is the perpendicular bisector of the segment that connects the points (3,6) and (-2,4)

Answer 1

\[(y^2 - y^1) \over (x^2 - x^1)\] to find slope

y-y1=m(x-x1) to find equation of the line

Flip numerator/denominator and sign to find perpendicular lines

Answer 2

perpendicular bisector of the segment is nerd talk for "find the perpendicular line" im assuming

Answer 3

slope= 2/5
y-6=2/5 (x-3)
y=2/5x +24/5 ?
Is that all i have to do?

Answer 4

that is the line that runs through the points given in the problem, they want to you find one that runs perpendicular to it

Answer 5

I cant remember, which part do i flip?

Answer 6

m, or the slope

Answer 7

so -5/2 is the new slope

Answer 8

ok thx
