The equation of perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining $\mathrm{A}(-2,3)$ and $\mathrm{B}(6,-5)$ is
  1. $x+y=3$
  2. $x+y=1$
  3. $x-y=-1$
  4. $x-y=3$

Solution

Slope of line $\mathrm{AB}=\frac{-5-3}{6+2}=\frac{-8}{3}=-1$ Mid point of $\mathrm{AB}=\frac{-2+6}{2}, \frac{3-5}{2}=(2,-1)$ Equation of perpendicular bisector $\mathrm{AB}$ is $(\mathrm{y}+1)=1(\mathrm{x}-2)$ i.e. $x-y=3$
