Answer:
C) 3x - 4y = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
The midpoint of AB is
M( (-2 + 4)/2, (-5 + 3)/2 ) = M(1, -1)
Line AB has slope:
(3 - (-5))/(-2 - 4) = 8/(-6) = -4/3
Slopes of perpendicular lines are negative reciprocals.
A perpendicular to line AB has slope 3/4.
The perpendicular to line AB that passes through the midpoint of segment AB is the line we want.
[tex] y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) [/tex]
[tex] y - (-1) = \dfrac{3}{4}(x - 1) [/tex]
[tex] y + 1 = \dfrac{3}{4}(x - 1) [/tex]
[tex] 4y + 4 = 3(x - 1) [/tex]
[tex]4y + 4 = 3x - 3[/tex]
[tex]3x - 4y = 7[/tex]
