Midpoint of those two givens system%28x=%284-6%29%2F2=-1%2Cy=%280-3%29%2F2=-3%2F2%29;

Slope of the segment of those two givens, %28-3-0%29%2F%28-6-4%29=3%2F10;
Slope of the perpendicular bisector of the SEGMENT for the given points will be -10%2F3.

The perpendicular bisector of the SEGMENT whose endpoints are (4,0) and (-6,-3) which using the point-slope form equation is highlight%28y%2B3%2F2=-%2810%2F3%29%28x%2B1%29%29; do what you need with it.
