The endpoints of AB¯¯¯¯¯ are A(-3, 4) and B(1, 2). Line k is the perpendicular bisector of AB¯¯¯¯¯.

Determine the equation of line k in slope-intercept form (write the equation without spacing).

Respuesta :

The equation of line k in slope-intercept form is y = 2x

The standard form of an equation in point-slope form is expressed as:

[tex]y-y_0=m(x-x_0)[/tex] where:

m is the slope

(x0, y0) is the point on the line

Given the coordinates A(-3, 4) and B(1, 2)

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\m=\frac{2-4}{1-(-3)}\\m=\frac{-2}{4}\\m= \frac{-1}{2}[/tex]

The line perpendicular to the line passing through the point is 2

Substitute the point (1, 2) and slope m =2 into the expression:

[tex]y-2=2(x-1)\\y - 2=2x-2\\y=2x-2+2\\y=2x[/tex]

Hence  the equation of line k in slope-intercept form is y = 2x
