  • A(-6,4) and E(6,0)
    slope m = (4 - 0) / ( -6-6) = 4/-12 = -1/3

    perpendicular, slope is opposite and reciprocal so slope = 3

    A perpendicular bisector of a line segment is a line segment perpendicular to and passing through the midpoint

    Midpoint:
    so x = ((-6+6)/2 = 0 and y = (4+0)/ 2 = 2
    so M = (0,2)

    equation of perpendicular line: y = 3x + 2

    answer:
    equation:  y = 3x + 2
    point lies on perpendicular bisector: (0,2)
