A straight line passes through the points A(6,-1) and B(8,9). Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of AB.
Added by Victor Manuel E.
Step 1
To find the midpoint of AB, we can use the midpoint formula: Midpoint = ((x1 + x2)/2, (y1 + y2)/2) Plugging in the coordinates of A and B, we get: Midpoint = ((6 + 8)/2, (-1 + 9)/2) Midpoint = (14/2, 8/2) Midpoint = (7, 4) Show more…
