Question
Refer to the quadrilateral with vertices $A=(0,2),$ $B=(4,-1), C=(1,-5),$ and $D=(-3,-2)$.Find an equation of the perpendicular bisector* of $A D$.
Step 1
The slope of a line is given by the difference in the y-coordinates divided by the difference in the x-coordinates. So, the slope of AD is given by: \[ m_{AD} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} = \frac{-2 - 2}{-3 - 0} = \frac{-4}{-3} = \frac{4}{3} \] Show more…
