A circle can have perpendicular bisector lines by means of its diameter.
A circle cannot form a perpendicular bisector.
Form a simultaneous equation with chord and circle and by solving it:- Chord makes contact with circle at: (-1, 4) and (3, 8) Midpoint of chord: (1, 6) Slope of chord: 1 Slope of perpendicular bisector: -1 Perpendicular bisector equation: y-6 = -(x-1) => y = -x+7
Chord equation: y = x+5 Circle equation: x^2 +4x +y^2 -18y +59 = 0 Chord end points: (-1, 4) and (3, 8) Chord midpoint: (1, 6) Perpendicular slope: -1 Perpendicular bisector equation: y-6 = -1(x-1) => y = -x+7
Chord equation: y = x+5 Circle equation: x^2 +4x +y^2 -18y +59 = 0 Both equations intersect at: (-1, 4) and (3, 8) which are the endpoints of the chord Midpoint of the chord: (1, 6) Slope of chord: 1 Perpendicular slope: -1 Perpendicular bisector equation: y-6 = -(x-1) => y = -x+7
