It works out as: 2x+y-16 = 0

Line segment
. . . is the segment perpendicular to the line.
No, a segment is not necessarily perpendicular. A segment is simply a straight line connecting two points. A perpendicular segment would be a segment that forms a right angle with another segment or line.

bisecting
perpendicular bisector
It's called a perpendicular bisector of the line segment.
Perpendicular Bisector
The perpendicular bisector of a line segment AB is the straight line perpendicular to AB through the midpoint of AB.
Line segment
. . . is the segment perpendicular to the line.
Endpoints: (2, 9) and (9, 2) Midpoint: (5.5, 5.5) Slope of line segment: -1 Perpendicular slope: 1 Perpendicular bisector equation: y-5.5 = 1(x-5.5) => y = x

Draw a perpendicular to that line and extend the arms of the angle to meed the perpendicular drawn earlier. Check if the line is bisecting the perpendicular, if yes, then the line is a bisector of the angle. :)
A perpendicular line is one that is at right angle to another - usually to a horizontal line. A perpendicular bisector is a line which is perpendicular to the line segment joining two identified points and which divides that segment in two.
