Write the equation for the perpendicular bisector of a segment that has endpoints (1, –4) and (3, 2).

A) y = –1∕3x – 1∕3

B) y = –3x + 5

C) y = –3x – 1

D) y = 3x + 5

g = (2, 2)

step-by-step explanation:

given the ratio is 1 : 1 then f is the midpoint of eg

let the coordinates of g = (x, y)

using the midpoint formula

(0 + x) = 1 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

0 + x = 2 ⇒ x = 2

similarly

(4 + y) = 3 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

4 + y = 6 ( subtract 4 from both sides )

y = 2

coordinates of g = (2, 2)

sample answer: you can determine whether each element of the domain is paired with exactly one element of the range. for example, if given a graph, you could use the vertical line test; if a vertical line intersects the graph more than once, then the relation that the graph represents is not a function.
