Question

what wii be the equation in stardard forThe line through the midpoint of and perpendicular to the segment joining points (1, 0) and (5, -2).

Answer 1

So you first find the gradient of the line. Which we will call m1
m1 x m2 = -1
So the perpendicular gradient will equal -1 / m1
Then you find the midpoint of the line
After that you put the coordinates into the equation for a line:
y-y1=m(x-x1)
And you should be done.
