Answer:

Hi,

Explanation:

We don't use A !

"Perpendicular bisector is a line that divides a given line segment exactly into two halves forming 90 degrees angle at the intersection point."

B=(-2,1)

C=(4,2)

M=middle of [BC]=((4-2)/2,(1+2)/2)=(1,1.5)

Slope of (BC) = (2-1)/(4-(-2))=1/6

Slope of the perpendicular bisector= - 1/(1/6)= -6

Equation of the perpendicular bisector:

y-1.5=-6*(x-1)

or y=-6x+6+1.5

or y=-6x+7.5
