If it is bisector then it co ordinate points is in mid way(3,-2)

and it is perpendicular so its slope m2=-1/m1
where m1 is slope of another line passes through (4,1) nd (2,-5)

m1=-5-1/2-4=3
m2==-1/3

so equation of line is
y-3= -1/3(x+2)

Answer:

So the correct answer is  y= -1/3x - 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

My fist step to solving this question would be to find the mid-point of the given line. The mid point of (4,1) and (2,-5) is (3,-2). The mid point is where the perpendicular bisector connects or bisects the given segment. My second step would be to graph the two given points and to connect them, forming a line. This way, I would know the slope of the line and then I would be able to find the slope of the perpendicular bisector, since the slope for perpendicular lines is the opposite reciprocal of the given line. In doing this, I discovered that the slope of the segment with the given endpoints is 3 which means that the slope of the perpendicular bisector will be -1/3. So, so far we've got a point of intersection and a slope which is all we need to formulate the equation of the line that we are looking for.

In the end, our answer will be y= -1/3x - 1.

I'm not sure how you find the slope for this! I need it quickly!!​

That is Slope Form. They should give you two coordinates and you substitute them in.
