In other words, what is the equation for the line AB? The mid point of the segment AB is also on the line AB.

Using point slope form directly:

You can do the simplification.

?????
Parallel means it doesn't come
in contact with line AB
How can it pass through the middle of AB?
---------------
Are you sure it isn' t supposed to be
"perpendicular" to AB?
