The equation of the segments perpendicular bisector is; y = -¹/₂x + 2

<h3>How to find the equation of the perpendicular bisector?</h3>

i) Since it is a perpendicular bisector, hence point M is the midpoint. Thus;

Midpoint (AB) = [(x₁ + x₂)/2], [(y₁ + y₂)/2] = (x_m, y_m)

Slope AB will be;

m₁ = ((x₁ - x₂)/(y₁ - y₂))

Slope of perpendicular bisector is;

m₂ = -1/m₁

Equation of perpendicular bisector is;

(y - y_m) = m₂(x - x_m)

ii) Midpoint (AB) = [(-2 + 6)/2], [(3 - 1)/2] = (2, 1)

Slope AB will be;

m₁ = ((6 + 2)/(-1 - 3)) = -2

m₂ = -1/-2 = 1/2

Equation of perpendicular bisector is;

(y - 1) = -¹/₂(x - 2)

y - 1 = -¹/₂x + 1

y = -¹/₂x + 2

"I'm thinking of a fraction that is equivalent to 5/6
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

20/24

Step-by-step explanation:

let the variable be x and x-4

5/6 = x-4/x

cross multiply

5x = 6x - 24

24= x

thus, x is 24 and x-4 is 20

<u>20/24</u>

Which equation is a point slope form of the equation of this line? (-2,1). (1,7)
Lilit [14]
Hello : 
answer : <span>D. (Y-1)=2(x+2)
because : 
if x=1  ... y =7
if : x= -2   .... y= 1 
the slope is :    (1-7)/(-2-1) = -6/-3=2</span>

What slope is parallel to:<br> m = 4
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

m = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Parallel means to have the same slope but different x- and y- intercepts

An example would be y = 4x + 6 and y = 4x - 2
