ANSWER:-
Any point (x, y) of perpendicular bisector will be equidistant from A and B.
Solving we get -12x - 4y + 28 = 0
3x + y - 7 = 0
Therefore:-
d) 3x + y - 7 = 0
Given :-
The equation of the perpendicular bisector of line segment joining the points A (4, 5) and B (- 2, 3) is
Let assume that line l be the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining the points A (4, 5) and B (- 2, 3).
We know, perpendicular bisector l bisects the line segment as well as perpendicular to it.
So, Let assume that C (a, b) be the midpoint of AB.
We know,
Midpoint Formula
Let P(x₁, y₁) and Q(x₂, y₂) be two points in the coordinate plane and R(x, y) be the mid-point of PQ. Then, the coordinates of R will be:
So, Coordinates of midpoint of C (a, b) of the line segment joining the points A (4, 5) and B (- 2, 3) is
So, Coordinates of C is (1, 4).
Now,
Slope of line segment joining the points A (4, 5) and B (- 2, 3) is given by
We know,
Two lines having slope m and M are perpendicular iff Mm = - 1.
As line l is perpendicular to AB.
Now, Equation of line which passes through the point (c, d) and having slope m is given by
So, Equation of line 'l' having slope - 3 which passes through the point (1, 4) is
is the required equation of perpendicular bisector.

Different forms of equations of a straight line
1. Equations of horizontal and vertical lines
Equation of line parallel to x - axis passes through the point (a, b) is x = a.
Equation of line parallel to x - axis passes through the point (a, b) is x = a.
2. Point-slope form equation of line
Equation of line passing through the point (a, b) having slope m is y - b = m(x - a)
3. Slope-intercept form equation of line
Equation of line which makes an intercept of c units on y axis and having slope m is y = mx + c.
4. Intercept Form of Line
Equation of line which makes an intercept of a and b units on x - axis and y - axis respectively is x/a + y/b = 1.
5. Normal form of Line
Equation of line which is at a distance of p units from the origin and perpendicular makes an angle β with the positive X-axis is x cosβ + y sinβ = p.
