Find an equation for the perpendicular bisector of the line segment whose endpoints are ( − 1 , 1 ) (−1,1) and ( − 7 , − 7 ) (−7,−7).?
1 Answer
Explanation:
.
End points of the line segment:
The slope of the line is:
The slope of a line perpendicular to this line segment,
Let's find the midpoint of the line segment:
Now, we can write the equation of a straight line that goes through
Therefore, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is:
