An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y=(1/3)x.
An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.
The equation of the line that passes through (2, 4), (3, 1), and (4,-2), are,
m = (4-1)/(2-3) = 3/-1 = -3
Since the product of the slope of two perpendicular lines is -1. The slope of the perpendicular line is,
m₁m₂ = -1
(-3) m₂ = -1
m₂ = 1/3
Since the line is the perpendicular bisector it will pass through midpoint,
1 = (1/3)(3) + C
1 = 1 + C
C = 0
Hence, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is y=(1/3)x.
