Perpendicular slope: 2
Perpendicular bisector equation in slope intercept form: y = 2x-5
The equation will be perpendicular to the given equation and have a slope of 3/4:- Perpendicular equation: y--3 = 3/4(x--2) => 4y--12 = 3x--6 => 4y = 3x-6 Perpendicular equation in its general form: 3x-4y-6 = 0
x+7y+4 = 0 => y = -1/7x-4/7 The slope of the second equation is the reciprocal of the first equation with the minus sign changing to a plus sign. y = mx+c where m is the slope and c is the intercept on the y axis So: 7*4+c = 0 28+c = 0 c = -28 Therefore the perpendicular equation is: y = 7x-28 which can be expressed in the form of 7x-y-28 = 0

First find the midpoint of (-2, 5) and (-8, -3) which is (-5, 1) Then find the slope of (-2, 5) and (-8, -3) which is 4/3 Slope of the perpendicular bisector is the negative reciprocal of 4/3 which is -3/4 Now form an equation of the straight line with a slope of -3/4 passing through the point (-5, 1) using the formula y-y1 = m(x-x1) The equation works out as: 3x+4y+11 = 0

To solve this, four steps are needed:Find the midpoint of the line segment (X, Y) which is a point on the perpendicular bisectorFind the slope m for the line segment: m = change_in_y/change_in_xFind the slope m' of the perpendicular line; the slopes of the lines are related by mm' = -1 → m' = -1/mFind the equation of the perpendicular bisector using the slope-point equation for a line passing through point (X, Y) with slope m': y - Y = m'(x - X)Have a go before reading the solution below.--------------------------------------------------------------------The midpoint of (7, 3) and (-6, 1) is at ((7 + -6)/2, (3 + 1)/2) = (1/2, 2)The slope of the line segment is: m = change_in_y/change_in_x = (1 - 3)/(-6 - 7) = -2/-13 = 2/13The slope of the perpendicular bisector is m' = -1/m = -1/(2/13) = -13/2The equation of the perpendicular bisector passing through point (X, Y) = (1/2, 2) with slope m' = -13/2 is given by:y - Y = m'(x - Y)→ y - 2 = -13/2(x - 1/2)→ 4y - 8 = -26x + 13→ 4y + 26x = 21
