First find the midpoint of AB which is (1/2, 2)
Then find the slope of AB which is 2/13
The slope of the perpendicular bisector is the negative reciprocal of 2/13 which is -13/2.
Then by using the formula y-y1 = m(x-x1) form an equation for the perpendicular bisector which works out as:-
y -2 = -13/2(x -1/2)
y = -13/2x + 13/4 + 2
y = -13/2x + 21/4
So the equation is: 4y = -26x + 21
