Points: (2, 3) and (5, 7)

The distance will be length of the line divided by 2 because the perpendicular bisector cuts through the line at its centre and at right angles
The mid-point is needed when the perpendicular bisector equation of a straight line is required. The distance formula is used when the length of a line is required.
4x + 3y = 24 crosses the axes at (6, 0) and (0, 8). Therefore its length is [(6 - 0)2 + (0 - 8)2]1/2 = [36 + 64]1/2 = 1001/2 = 10 Mid point = (3, 4) Gradient of given line = -4/3 So gradient of perpendicular bisector = 3/4 Therefore equation of perp bisector: (y - 4) = 3/4(x - 3) or 4y - 16 = 3x - 9 3x - 4y = -7
Every point on the bisector of an angle is equidistant from the sides of that angle. It is understood that the distance of a point from a line is the length of the perpendicular dropped from the point to the line.

So that the arc is mid-way in perpendicular to the line segment
Because both lines and rays are infinite in length and thus have no midpoint.

No. A line of any length can be divided in half - and that is what a bisector is.
No, it is not true that a segment's bisector will always be congruent to the segment itself. A segment bisector is a line, ray, or segment that divides the original segment into two equal parts, but the bisector itself does not have to be equal in length to the original segment. For example, if you have a segment of length 10 units, its bisector will simply divide it into two segments of 5 units each, but the bisector itself can be of any length and orientation.
