Question

Find the equation of the right bisector of the line joining (1, 1) and (3, 5).

Solution

Correct option is

x + 2y – 8 = 0

 

Let m be the slope of the line joining (1, 1) and (3, 5). 

  

∴ Slope (M) of right bisector of the join of (1, 1) and (3, 5) = .

  

Mid point of the join of (1, 1) and (3, 5) is 

i.e.,   (2, 3) 

Hence equation of the right bisector passing through (2, 3) and having slope M = –1/2 is   

          

or     x + 2y – 8 = 0.
