Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that is a segment bisector of both AB (1,6) (7,8)and CD (3,8) (7,12)

Respuesta :

An equation in slope-intercept form of the line that is a segment bisector of both AB (1,6) (7,8)and CD (3,8) (7,12) is; y = 3x - 5

How to write an equation in slope intercept form?

The equation of a line in slope intercept form is; y = mx + c

wher;

m is the slope and c is the intercept

The midpoint or bisector (x, y) of a line with endpoints at (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is;

x = (x1 + x2)/2 and y = (y1 + y2)/2

Thus;

Midpoint of AB is;

(1 + 7)/2, (6 + 8)/2 = (4, 7)

Midpoint of CD is;

(3 + 7)/2, (8 + 12)/2 = (5, 10)

Midpoint of BC is;

(7 + 3)/2, (8 + 8)/2 = (5, 8)

Midpoint of ADis;

(1 + 7)/2, (6 + 12)/2 = (4, 9)

The equation of the line passing through the midpoints of AB and CD is given as:

(y - 7)/(x - 4) = (10 - 7)/(5 - 4)

y - 7 = 3(x - 4)

y = 7 + 3x - 12

y = 3x - 5
