Equation of a Perpendicular Bisector
Understanding the Concept of Perpendicular Bisectors
A perpendicular bisector is a line that divides another line into two equal parts at a 90° angle. By breaking down the term, we can see that "perpendicular" means intersecting at a right angle, and "bisector" means dividing into two equal parts.
Take a look at the image below to see a visual representation of a perpendicular bisector.
