Find the equation of the right bisector of the line segment joining the points (a, b) and (a1, b1).
Given: A (a, b) and B (a1, b1) be the given points
To find:
Equation of the right bisector of the line segment joining the points (a, b) and (a1, b1).
Explanation:
Let C be the midpoint of AB.
∴ coordinates of C ![]()
And, slope of AB ![]()
So, the slope of the right bisector of AB is ![]()
Thus, the equation of the right bisector of the line segment joining the points (a, b) and (a1, b1) is
![]()
⇒ 2 (a1-a)x + 2y(b1-b) + (a2 + b2) – (a12 + b12) = 0
Hence, equation of the required line 2 (a1 – a)x + 2y(b1- b) + (a2 + b2) – (a12 + b12) = 0
