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

Cana line segment lack a bisector?

No. A line of any length can be divided in half - and that is what a bisector is.
