slope = - 2, midpoint = (2, - 2 )
the slope m is calculated using the ' gradient formula '
m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )
with (x₁, y₁ ) = (4, - 6 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 2 )
m = [tex]\frac{2+6}{0-4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{-4}[/tex] = - 2
calculate midpoint using midpoint formula
{[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (4 + 0 ), [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] (- 6 + 2 )] = (2, - 2 )
gradient of perpendicular bisector = - [tex]\frac{1}{-2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]
equation in slope-intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is slope and c the y-intercept )
partial equation is y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x + c
to find c substitute ( 2, - 2) into the partial equation
- 2 = 1 + c ⇒ c = - 3
y = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x - 3 in slope-intercept form
Answer:
-2
(2,-2)
