find the equation of the perpendicular bisect of  given that  is ( , ) and  is ( , ).
first find equation of a line passing through points
(,) and (,)
 where  is a slope and  is y-intercept
 ....plug in (,)
so, 
recall that the perpendicular line will have a slope negative reciprocal to a slope of this line
so, 
the perpendicular bisect of , we can find coordinates o midpoint of
(,) and (,)
( , )
=>( , )
-> the perpendicular bisect is passing through (,), use it to find y-intercept
and equation is:
