End points: (-2, 4) and (-4, 8)
Midpoint: (-3, 6)
Slope: -2
Perpendicular slope: 1/2
Perpendicular bisector equation: y -6 = 1/2(x--3) => y = 0.5x+7.5

What is the perpendicular bisector theorem?
If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant, or the same distance, from the endpoints of the segment.
What is the difference between a perpendicular bisector and a angle bisector?
A perpendicular bisector is a line that divides a given line segment into halves, and is perpendicular to the line segment. An angle bisector is a line that bisects a given angle.
Which of these is the definition of a perpendicular bisector?
a line or segment that is perpendicular to the given segment and divides it into two congruent segments
What is right bisector in math?
A right bisector of a line segment, is better know as a perpendicular bisector. It is a line that divides the original line in half and is perpendicular to it (makes a right angle).
If a point lies on the perpendicular bisector of a segment then the point is always equidistant from the endpoints of the segment?
true
State the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem and its converse as a biconditional?
Biconditional Statement for: Perpendicular Bisector Theorem: A point is equidistant if and only if the point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment. Converse of the Perpendicular Bisector Theorem: A point is on the perpendicular bisector of the segment if and only if the point is equidistant from the endpoints of a segment.
If a point is equidistant from the endpoints of the segment then it is?
on the perpendicular bisector of the segment.
What is the perpendicular bisector theorem?
If a point is on the perpendicular bisector of a segment, then it is equidistant, or the same distance, from the endpoints of the segment.
What is the perpendicular bisector equation of the line segment whose endpoints are at -4 -10 and 8 -1 on the Cartesian plane?
Endpoints: (-4, -10) and (8, -1) Midpoint: (2, -5.5) Slope: 3/4 Perpendicular slope: -4/3 Perpendicular equation: y --5.5 = -4/3(x-2) => 3y = -4x -8.5 Perpendicular bisector equation in its general form: 4x+3y+8.5 = 0
What is the perpendicular bisector equation to the line segment of -1 -6 and 5 -8?
Points: (-1, -6) and (5, -8) Midpoint: (2, -7) Perpendicular slope: 3 Perpendicular bisector equation: y = 3x -13
What is the perpendicular bisector equation of the line segment whose endpoints are at -7 -3 and -1 -4 on the Cartesian plane?
Endpoints: (-7, -3) and (-1, -4) Midpoint: (-4, -3.5) Slope: (-3--4)/(-7--1) = -1/6 Perpendicular slope: 6 Perpendicular bisector equation: y--3.5 = 6(x--4) => y = 6x+20.5
