Hi
 A(2,9) 
 B(9,7)  MidP(5.5, 8)  m(AB) = (2/-7)
perpendicular bisector:  y-8 = (7/2)(x-11/2)  0r y = (7/2)x -45/4

B(9,7) and 
C(2,0)  MidP(5.5, 3.5)  m(AB) = (7/7) = 1
perpendicular bisector:  y-(7/2) = -(x-11/2) 0r  y = -x + 9

 -x + 9 = (7/2)x - 45/4
   x = 9/2   and y = 9/2
point of intersection of the two perpendicular bisectors is P(9/2,9/2)

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
