find the equation of perpenticular bisector of the line joining points A ( 2, 3) and b (6, - 5)
Answers
Answer:
x - 2 y - 6 = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
given--->end points of a line A(2,3)andB
-----------
(6 ,-5)
To find ---->equation of perpendicular
-------------
bisector of AB
solution ---->
--------------
let perpendicular bisector of AB is CD and it intersect AB at M
now
coordinate of mid point of line joining points (a, b) and (c, d) is
a+d b+c
(----------- , ---------)
2 2
applying this
2+6 3-5
coordinate of M=(----------, ---------)
2 2
=( 4 , -1)
now slope of line joining the points (a, b) (c, d) is
d - b
= ---------
c - a
-5-3
now slope of AB=------------
6-2
-8
=-------------=-2
4
since AB and CD are perpendicular
slope of AB×slope of CD=-1
-2 × slope of CD = -1
-1 1
slope of CD= -------=------
-2 2
now equation of line passing through a point (a, b) and whose slope is m
(y-b) = m (x-a)
now equation of perpendicular bisector CD of AB
1
{y-(-1)}= ------(x-4)
2
1
y + 1 = ------ (x - 4)
2
2(y+1) = x - 4
2y + 2 = x - 4
x - 2 y - 6 = 0
Answer:
firstly calculate the mid pt of a and b
then find slope of it after that revrse it
then u got a slooe of a new line x -2y-6=0
