Answer to Problem 56SPR

The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y=(−45)x .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

It is given that D(−2,−4) and E(2,1) .

Using the one − point formula to find the equation of the line segment,

  y−yo=m(x−xo)

Finding the slope,

  m=1+42+2=54

So, to find the equation of line,

  y+4=54(x+2)4y+16=5x+105x−4y−6=0

So, the equation of line segment is 5x−4y−6=0 .

Now, finding the equation of the perpendicular bisector,

So,

  y=(−45)x

Hence, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is y=(−45)x .
