Equation In Point-Slope Form For The Perpendicular Bisector Of The Segment Wth The Given Endpoin X (-7,5)  Y (-1,-1)

Answer 1

X(-7,5), Y(-1,-1)

first find the slope M

M = (xX - xY) / (yX - yY)

M = (5 - (-1))/(-7 -(-1)) = 6/-6 = -1 of the original line

Mp of the perpendicular line is 1.

midpoint of line is[(-7-(-1))/2  , (5 - (-1))/2]

                              (-3, 3)

slope form of the perpendicular is

y - 3 = x -(-3)

y = x +3 +3

y = x +6
