It works out as: 2x+y-16 = 0
bisecting
perpendicular bisector
. . . is the segment perpendicular to the line.
Line segment
No, a segment is not necessarily perpendicular. A segment is simply a straight line connecting two points. A perpendicular segment would be a segment that forms a right angle with another segment or line.
a secant
bisecting
perpendicular bisector
It's called a perpendicular bisector of the line segment.
Perpendicular Bisector
The perpendicular bisector of a line segment AB is the straight line perpendicular to AB through the midpoint of AB.
Endpoints: (2, 9) and (9, 2) Midpoint: (5.5, 5.5) Slope of line segment: -1 Perpendicular slope: 1 Perpendicular bisector equation: y-5.5 = 1(x-5.5) => y = x

Draw a perpendicular to that line and extend the arms of the angle to meed the perpendicular drawn earlier. Check if the line is bisecting the perpendicular, if yes, then the line is a bisector of the angle. :)
Points: (-1, -6) and (5, -8) Midpoint: (2, -7) Perpendicular slope: 3 Perpendicular bisector equation: y = 3x -13
