1st find the midpoint -- (4, 1/2)

Now slope -- 1/2 divided by 4 = 1/8

y-intercept = 0 (origin)

y = (1/8)x <--- answer

How do you find the right bisector of a triangle?

For triangle ABC, find the midpoint of side BC. Then, find the slope of side BC and use its negative reciprocal (since the negative reciprocal slope is the slope of the right bisector joining side BC and the opposite vertex). Finally, substitute the midpoint and negative reciprocal slope into the y=mx+b equation to get "b", then write the equation. :)
