Answer:
2y - 12x = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
gradient of line PQ= (7-8)/ 4+2
-1/6
gradient of perpendicular bisector of line PQ=
-1 ÷ -1/6
-1× -6
6
coordinates of the midpoint of line PQ
(-2+4)/2, (8+7)/2
(1, 15/2)
the perpendicular bisector passes through the midpoint of line PQ
Equation of the perpendicular bisector
y - 15/2 = 6(x - 1)
multiply through by 2
2y - 15 = 12(x - 1)
2y - 15 = 12x - 12
2y - 12x = 3
