Answer:
x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
You can forget about point R. It does not have any part in this problem, except to add confusion.
The given line PQ has the same y-coordinate values for points P and Q. This means the segment is a horizontal segment. Its perpendicular bisector will be a vertical line through its midpoint.
The midpoint (M) of PQ is ...
M = (P +Q)/2
M = ((-2, 2) +(8, 2))/2 = (-2+8, 2+2)/2 = (6, 4)/2
M = (3, 2)
The vertical line through a point with x-coordinate 3 will have the equation ...
x = 3
