a) The gradient of a line perpendicular to AB is -2.
b) equation of line is y=-2x+6
<h3>What is gradient?</h3>
The gradient is the measure of the steepness of a straight line.
a)The gradient of line is
=(-2-2)/(7+1)
=-4/8
=-1/2
So, gradient of a line perpendicular to AB is -2
b)The coordinates of mid point (3, 0)
m = -2
So,
0= -6+ b
b= 6
So, equation of line is y=-2x+6
