What is a line segments or ray that passes through the midpoint of a side and is perpendicular to the side?
A perpendicular bisector.
What is a line perpendicular to a line segmentt and passing through its midpoint?

What is the line segment perpendicular to the axis of the parabola and passing through the focus?
It does not have a specific name.
What is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line passing through the points 3 6 and 5 1?
The slope of the perpendicular to the line passing through P1(3,6) and P2(5,1) is 2/5. Note: the slope of the original line is (change in y)/(change in x), yielding -5/2. The slope of the perpendicular is the negative reciprocal, 2/5
