Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of the segment with the endpoints of (-3, 4) and (1, -2).

find the equation in slope- intercept form

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

We require to find the slope and the midpoint of the given line segment

Find the slope using the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / ( x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 3, 4 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (1, - 2 )

m = = = -

the slope of the perpendicular is the negative inverse of m

=

Find the midpoint using the midpoint formula

midpoint = [ (- 3 + 1), (4 - 2)] = (- 1, 1)

y = x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (- 1, 1 ) into the partial equation

1 = - + c ⇒ c =

y = x + ← equation of perpendicular bisector

the answer is c: divide the arc's degree measure by 360°, then multiply by the circumference of the circle.
