Question

# 80. Find the equation of the line perpendicular to the line x = 3 and passing though the

midpoint of the segment joining (-2, 2) and (4, -8).

Answer 1

Answer: y = -3

Explanation:

The midpoint is
`\left((-2+4)/(2), (2-8)/(2) \right)=(1, -3)`.

The line given is a vertical line, so we need a horizontal line.

Thus, the equation is y = -3.
