I think it is asking for the answer, therefore it would be AB = 10.7

MATH HELP!

You have the correct answer. Nice work. If you need to see the steps, then see below

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First we need to find the midpoint of H and I
The x coordinates of the two points are -4 and 2. They add to -4+2 = -2 and then cut that in half to get -1

Do the same for the y coordinates: 2+4 = 6 which cuts in half to get 3

So the midpoint of H and I is (-1,3). The perpendicular bisector will go through this midpoint

---------------------

Now we must find the slope of segment HI

H = (-4,2) = (x1,y1)
I = (2,4) = (x2,y2)
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (4 - 2)/(2 - (-4))
m = (4 - 2)/(2 + 4)
m = 2/6
m = 1/3
Flip the fraction to get 1/3 ---> 3/1 = 3
Then flip the sign: +3 ----> -3

So the slope of the perpendicular bisector is -3

-----------------------

Use m = -3 which is the slope we found
and (x,y) = (-1,3), which is the midpoint found earlier
to get the following
y = mx+b
3 = -3*(-1)+b
3 = 3+b
3-3 = 3+b-3
0 = b
b = 0

So if m = -3 and b = 0, then y = mx+b turns into y = -3x+0 and it simplifies to y = -3x

So that confirms you have the right answer. I've also used GeoGebra to help confirm the answer (see attached)
