Find the perpendicular bisector of a line
1) Graph the equation 2x + 3y = -12 by moving the line to the appropriate location.
2) move the point to the location (4, -1)
3) Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of the line above that contains the point (4, -1). (Find the line that is perpendicular to the line given by 2x + 3y = -12 that also contains the point (4, -1).
4) Verify that your line is indeed perpendicular and contains the point.
