A circle can have perpendicular bisector lines by means of its diameter.
A circle cannot form a perpendicular bisector.
A circle itself does not form a perpendicular bisector because a perpendicular bisector is a line that divides a segment into two equal parts at a right angle, typically associated with straight segments. However, the concept of a perpendicular bisector can be applied to chords within a circle. The perpendicular bisector of a chord will always pass through the center of the circle.
Yes, in a circle, the perpendicular bisector of a chord does indeed pass through the center of the circle. This is because the perpendicular bisector of a chord divides it into two equal segments and is equidistant from the endpoints of the chord. Since the center of the circle is the point that is equidistant from all points on the circle, it must lie on the perpendicular bisector. Thus, any chord's perpendicular bisector will always intersect the center of the circle.
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

Perpendicular bisector.
You have points A, B, and C. Using a compass and straight edge, find a perpendicular bisector of AB (that is, a line that is perpendicular to AB and intersects AB at the midpoint of AB. Next, find a perpendicular bisector of BC. The two lines you found will meet at the center of the circle.
Start with constructing a circle, then make a diameter from that circle. After you've done that, construct the perpendicular bisector of, the diameter, then draw the line in from the perpendicular bisector. After you've done that, connect the 4 points you have on the circle... then you're done. ^^ Hope this helps. :)

x² + 4x - 18y + 59 = 0 is not a circle; it can be rearranged into: y = (x² + 4x + 59)/18 which is a parabola. You have missed out a y² term. ------------------------------------------------------------ Assuming you meant: x² + 4x + y² - 18y + 59 = 0, then: The perpendicular bisector of a chord passes through the centre of the circle. The slope m' of a line perpendicular to another line with slope m is given by m' = -1/m The chord y = x + 5 has slope m = 1 → the perpendicular bisector has slope m' = -1/1 = -1 A circle with centre Xc, Yc and radius r has an equation in the form: (x - Xc)² + (y - Yc)² = r² The equation given for the circle can be rearrange into this form by completing the square in x and y: x² + 4x + y² - 18y + 59 = 0 → (x + (4/2))² - (4/2)² + (y - (18/2))² - (18/2)² + 59 = 0 → (x + 2)² +(y - 9)² - 2² - 9² + 59 = 0 → (x + 2)² + (y - 9)² = 4 + 81 - 59 → the circle has centre (-2, 9) (The radius, if wanted, is given by r² = 4 + 81 - 59 = 36 = 6²) The equation of a line with slope m' through a point (Xc, Yc) has equation: y - Yc = m'(x - Xc) → y - 9 = -1(x - -2) → y - 9 = -x - 2 → y + x = 7 The perpendicular bisector of the chord y = x + 5 within the circle x² + 4x + y² - 18y + 59 = 0 is y + x = 7
