Find the equation of the right bisector of the line segment joining the points (3, 4) and (–1, 2).
Solution:
Suppose the given points are A and B. Let M be the mid point of AB.
∴ M = = (1 , 3) Slope of AB = = = ∴ Slope of the right bisector is –2. Since the right bisector passes through M(1, 3), ∴ The equation of the right bisector is y – 3 = –2 (x – 1) ⇒ 2x + y – 5 = 0 Hence the required equation is 2x + y = 5.
