A(3,6) and B(-3,4)

Find the mid point of AB and also the slope of AB.

Slope of Perp bisector will be negative reciprocal of slope of AB

Using one point formula find the eqn of perp bisector.

Intersection with Y axis will have a point D(0, y’)

Put x=0 in the eqn of prep bisector to get the value of y =y’

Point of intersection D(0,y’)



2 Find the eqn of AB using 2 point formula and as the C(-6,a) lies on it, put x=-6 and y=a to get the value of a.

Now using section formula or distance formula, find the ratio in which C divides AB


3. Find the eqn of AB ;A(6,5) and B(4,-3)
Put y=2 to find the value of x coordinate, let it be x’

So point of intersection of AB and y=2 is D(x’,2).

Now use section formula or distance formula to find the ratio.
