We'll remember the fact that the product of the values of
the slopes of 2 perpendicular lines is -1.
We know that the
slope of perpendicular bisector is -2.
-2*a = -1, a is the
slope
a = 1/2
The slope of
the line that passes through points (6,8) and (m,2) is a =
1/2.
We'll write the formula of the
slope:
a = (2-8)/(m-6)
1/2 =
-6/(m-6)
m-6 = -12
m = -12 +
6
k = -6
The
value of the coordinate m is: m = -6.
