The way you would approach the problem depends on what was given to you.\r

\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "First, determine the slope of line AB.
\n" ); document.write( "The slope of the perpendicular bisector is the reciprocal.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Next, apply the \"mid-point\" formula to get the (x,y) coordinates.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Now, you have the \"slope\" and one \"point\" plug it in to the \"point-slope\" formula:
\n" ); document.write( "y - y1 = m(x - x1)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Finally, you can manipulate the above until you get the form you're looking for -- either \"slope-intercept form\" or \"standard form\".\r
