Indicate the equation of the line, in standard form, that is the perpendicular bisector of the segment with endpoints (4, 1) and

Equation of a line is x+3y =-3.

<h3>What is a perpendicular bisector of the line segment?</h3>

A perpendicular bisector is a line that cuts a line segment connecting two points exactly in half at a 90 degree angle. To find the perpendicular bisector of two points, all you need to do is find their midpoint and negative reciprocal, and plug these answers into the equation for a line in slope-intercept form.

Given that,

Endpoints of the line segment are (x_{1},y_{1}) = (4, 1) and (x_{2},y_{2}) = (2, -5).

First find the midpoints of the given line segment.

M = \left(\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}  }{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}  }{2}\Right)

    =  \left(\frac{4+2  }{2},\frac{1-5  }{2}\Right)

M   =  (3,-2)

Now, Find the slope of the line :

It is perpendicular to the line with (4,1) and (2,-5)

Slope between (x_{1},y_{1}) and (x_{2},y_{2}) = \frac{y_{2}-y_{1}  }{x_{2}-x_{1}  }

so,

the slope between (4,1) and (2,-5)  =  \frac{-5-1  }{2-4 }

                                                         = 3

perpendicular lines have slopes the multiply to get -1

3 times m=-1

m= \frac{-1}{3}

The equation of a line that has a slope of m and passes through the midpoints M(3,-2)  is

y-y_{1} =m(x-x_{1} )

y-(-2) =\frac{-1}{3} (x-3 )

(y+2) =\frac{-1}{3} (x-3 )

if we want slope intercept form

(y+2) =\frac{-1}{3} x+1

y= \frac{-1}{3} x-1

If we want standard form

\frac{1}{3} x+y = -1

x+3y =-3

Hence, Equation of a line is x+3y =-3.
