Construct the perpendicular bisector for the segment in the following figure. What process did you use? Explain.

Perpendicular bisector for the given segment AB is shown below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Construction steps for the perpendicular bisector for the given segment AB are:

1. Open your compass more than half of the distance between end points of the given segment, i.e., A and B.

2. Place the compass on point A and mark two arc on each side of line segment AB.

3. Place the compass on point B and mark two arc on each side of line segment AB, which intersect the previous arcs.

4. Arcs meet at two points. Mark them C and D.

5. Draw the line between C and D.

The perpendicular bisector for the given segment AB is shown below.

y=mx+

the solution is the point

step-by-step explanation:

we have

> equation a

> equation b

adds equation a and equation b

substitute the value of x in equation b to find the value of y

the solution is the point
