The equation is 
<u>Explanation:</u>
We have to first find the mid-point of the segment, the formula for which is

So, the midpoint will be 
= 
It is the point at which the segment will be bisected.
Since we are finding a perpendicular bisector, we must determine what slope is perpendicular to that of the existing segment. To determine the segment's slope, we use the slope formula 
The slope is
= 
Perpendicular lines have opposite and reciprocal slopes. The opposite reciprocal of
is 
To write an equation, substitute the values in y = mx + c
WHere,
y = -1
x = 3
m = 3/2
Solving for c:

Thus, the equation becomes:

Answer:
undefined
Step-by-step explanation:
The x coordinates didn't change so the line is vertical and vertical lines have undefined slope
40 divides by 31 = 1.29 which is 1 1/3 cup per day
1.29 x 6 days = 7.74 cans
About 7 3/4 cans in 6 days
