- Find the midpoint between (3, 7) and (7, 11)
Answers:
- The perpendicular bisector must bisectMNand be perpendicular to it. Only
←→
OQsatisfies both requirements.
←→
SR
is just a bisector.
The line shown is the perpendicular bisector. So, 3x− 6 = 21 , 3 x= 27 ,x=9. And,( 4 y− 2 )◦= 90 ◦, 4 y◦=
92 ◦,y= 23 ◦.
(
3 + 7

= ( 5 , 9 )
