# 80. Find the equation of the line perpendicular to the line x = 3 and passing though the
midpoint of the segment joining (-2, 2) and (4, -8).

Respuesta :

Answer: y = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint is [tex]\left(\frac{-2+4}{2}, \frac{2-8}{2} \right)=(1, -3)[/tex].

The line given is a vertical line, so we need a horizontal line.

Thus, the equation is y = -3.
