It works out as: 2x+y-16 = 0
bisecting
perpendicular bisector
The final step in bisecting a line segment is to draw a line through the two intersection points of the arcs created from each endpoint. This line should intersect the original segment at its midpoint, effectively dividing the segment into two equal parts. You can then label this midpoint if necessary.
. . . is the segment perpendicular to the line.

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.
. . . is the segment perpendicular to the line.
Line segment
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
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.
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.
