Answer:
y = −1/3x+17/3
Step-by-step explanation:
The line segment has slope -1/3. This means that any line perpendicular to it will have a slope of 3 (negative reciprocal)
Any line that bisects the line segment will pass through its midpoint. The midpoint is (5,4)
Midpoint formula:
So perpendicular bisector of this line is simply a line with slope −1/3 that passes through point (5, 4)
y - 4 = -1/3 (x-5)=
y = −1/3x+17/3
