PLEASE HELP ASAP


The line that is the perpendicular bisector of the segment whose endpoints are R(-1, 6) and S(5, 5)


Indicate the equation of the given line in standard form.

Verified Answer :

First find midpoint:  \(\left( \frac{-1+5}{2}, \frac{6+5}{2}\right) = (2, 5.5)\) 

Find slope of line that passes through R and S:    slope = \(\frac{6-5}{-1-5} = \frac{-1}{6}\)   

Negative reciprocal of slope to get slope of perpendicular:    new slope = 6

Line will be:  \(y-5.5=6(x-2)\) 

  \(y = 6x - 6.5\)

Answer:

6x-y=13/2
