Question 315092: Point A (-4,1) is in standard (x,y) coordinate plane. What must be the coordinates of Point B so that the line X=2 is the perpendicular bisector of line over top of AB could you please explain this to me step by step thankyou

I'm not sure what you mean by "over top of AB".
For the line x=2 to bisect AB, the x distance from A to x=2 must be the same as the distance from B to x=2 and A and B must have the same y-coordinate.
DELTA%2Ax=2-%28-4%29=6
Bx=2%2B6=8
By=1
Therefore point B must be (8,1).
