Slopes of perpendicular lines are NEGATIVE RECIPROCAL to each other
namely, if say one has a slope of a/b  then the other will have a slope of \bf slope=\cfrac{a}{{{ b}}}\qquad negative\implies  -\cfrac{a}{{{ b}}}\qquad reciprocal\implies - \cfrac{{{ b}}}{a}

what the dickens does that mean?  

well, it means that their product is \bf \cfrac{a}{b}\cdot \cfrac{-b}{a}\implies -1

so... in this case, one has a slope of 3/4 and the other has a slope of d/2

thus   \bf \cfrac{3}{4}\cdot \cfrac{d}{2}=-1\implies \cfrac{3\cdot d}{4\cdot 2}=-1\implies \cfrac{3d}{8}=-1
\\\\\\
\textit{now we cross-multiply}
\\\\\\
3d=-8\implies d=\cfrac{-8}{3}

Temka [501]

Answer:

(-5, 1.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2 ,-1) ; (-8 , 4)

Midpoint = (\frac{x_{1}+x_{2}}{2},\frac{y_{1}+y_{2}}{2})\\\\

               =(\frac{-2-8}{2}, \frac{-1+4}{2})\\\\=(\frac{-10}{2},\frac{3}{2})\\\\=(-5 , 1.5)
