Her next step is to repeat the last process of drawing those two arcs. However, they will be mirrored since she swapped endpoints.
Check out the diagram below. Figure 1 is what she already has. Figure 2 is what happens after completing the next step. The red and blue arcs intersect to help form the endpoints of the perpendicular bisector. I used GeoGebra to make the diagrams.
In this problem, we need to plug in the given x values for 
and find a and b.
When we plug in 1, we get:
Simplify:
We got our first statement about the values of the variables. If we find one more we can find those 2 variables.
We have another given root: 4.
Plug it in:
Now we have our second one. We can combine them:
I use elimination method which is easier here.
Multiply the top equation by -1:
Add them up:
Simplify:
Now we have a, we can plug in one of those equations to find b:
So, the answers are
and
