The equation will have the form y=ax+b. a is the slope, and b is the y value at x=0.

The slope is -2 (that's our a), which you can see from the two given points. If x progresses from -3 to -2, y goes from 3 to 1. At x=0, the line crosses through y=-3 (that's our b)

So our generic form y=ax+b for this line is y=-2x-3

The equation of the perpendicular bisector of BC with B(-2, 1), and C(4, 2) is y = 7.6 - 6•x

<h3>Which method can be used to find the equation of the perpendicular bisector?</h3>

The slope, <em>m</em>, of the line BC is calculated as follows;

  • m = (2 - 1)/(4 - (-2)) = 1/6

The slope of the perpendicular line to BC is -1/(1/6) = -6

The midpoint of the line BC is found as follows;

\left( - 2 +  \frac{4 - ( - 2)}{2}, \: 1 +  \frac{2 - 1}{2}   \right) = (1,\: 1.5)

The perpendicular bisector is the perpendicular line constructed from the midpoint of BC.

The equation of the perpendicular bisector in point and slope form is therefore;

(y - 1.5) = -6•(x - 1)

y - 1.6 = -6•x + 6

y = -6•x + 6 + 1.6 = 7.6 - 6•x

Which gives;

  • y = 7.6 - 6•x
