Question

For the given line segment, write the equation of the perpendicular bisector.
a. y= 4/5x + 17/10
b. y= 5/4x+ 17/10
c. y= 4/5x + 47/10
d. y= - 4/5 X - 47/10
will mark brainliest if correct and give 50 pts.

Answer 1

D.) -4/5X-47/10, because the slope of the line is 5/4 and the perpendicular bisector must be the opposite reciprocal, meaning the numerator and denominator flip and then it becomes negative. So the opposite reciprocal of 5/4 is -4/5, leading us to answer choice D
