The perpendicular bisector of a line segment is a line perpendicular to the segment that passes through its midpoint. What is th
e equation for the perpendicular bisector of segment XY with point X(2, -6) and Y(5, -5)?

Answer:
y = 1/3 x.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of the given line is
(4 - (-2) / 2 - 4)
= -3.
So the slope of the line perpendicular to it = -1 / (-3) = 1/3.
This line also passes through the point (3, 1) so its equation is ( by the point-slope form):
y - 1 = 1/3(x - 3)
y - 1 = 1/3x - 1
y = 1/3 x (answer).

Answer:
I will say C it is more realistic.
6 * 7 = 42 so then you take and divide
42/3 = 14
4 x equals for because 2 times one half is equal to 1 and 1 plus 3 is 4
