Answer to Problem 19PSB

The equation of line perpendicular to the bisector of PR in point slope form is y=12x+152 .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The points are P=(2,5) and R=(0,9) .

Calculation:

Point-slope formula is given by m=y2y1x2x1 .

Find the slope of line PR .

Substitute 2 for x1 , 0 for x2 , 9 for y2 and 5 for y1 in the equation m=y2y1x2x1 .

  m=950+2=42=2

It is given that line is perpendicular so required slope will be reciprocal of 2 that is 12 .

Find the mid-point of the line PR .

  Midpoint=(x1+x22,y1+y22)=(2+02,5+92)=(1,7)

Determine the equation of line perpendicular to the bisector of PR in point slope form.

Substitute 1 for x1 , 7 for y1 , 12 for m in the equation yy1=m(xx1) .

  y7=12(x1)y7=12x+12y=12x+152

Therefore, the equation of line perpendicular to the bisector of PR in point slope form is y=12x+152 .
