Write the equation of a perpendicular bisect of AB, A(-5,3) B(-1,1) in slope intercept form
===============
Find the midpoint.
----
Find the slope of line thru the points, = slope of AB
==================
The slope of perpendicular lines is the negative inverse of the slope of AB
==============
Use y-y1 = m*(x-x1) where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the midpoint.
-------
Put in whatever form you want.
