A Bisector
Perpendicular bisector
The term "perpendicular bisector" refers to a line or a segment that is both perpendicular to another line or segment and passes through its midpoint. In geometric terms:
- Perpendicular: The perpendicular bisector forms a right angle (90 degrees) with the line or segment it bisects.
- Bisector: It divides the line or segment into two equal parts, with the point of intersection being the midpoint.
Equation:
\[\frac {y_1-y_2}{x_1-x_2}\ne \frac {y_2-y_3}{x_2-x_3}\]
The perpendicular bisector of the segment\(A_1A_2\)if \(A_1(x_1,y_1)\), \(A_2(x_2,y_2)\)is perpendicular to the segment so its slope equals to \(-\frac 1a\); a is the slope of the line that passes through the \(A_1\)and \(A_2\). this bisector passes through the middle of the segment, which is the point \((\frac {x_1+x_2}2,\frac {y_1+y_2}2)\)
so the equation of the perpendicular bisect is:
\[y-\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}=-\frac {x_1-x_2}{y_1-y_2}\left [ x-\frac {x_1+x_2}2\right ]\]
or:
\[y=-\frac {x_1-x_2}{y_1-y_2}\left [ x+\frac {x_1+x_2}2\right ]-\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\]
\[y=\frac {x_2-x_1}{y_1-y_2} x+\frac {x_2-x_1}{y_1-y_2}\frac {x_1+x_2}2-\frac{y_1+y_2}{2}\]
\[y=\frac {x_2-x_1}{y_1-y_2} x+\frac {(x_2-x_1)(x_2+x_1)+(y_2-y_1)(y_2+y_1)}{2(y_1-y_2)}\]
The point where two lines intersect
Two line:
\(\Delta_1\); \(y=a_1x+b_1\)
\(\Delta_2\); \(y=a_2x+b_2\)
\[a_1x+b_1=a_2x+b_2\]
\[-(a_2-a_1)x=b_2-b_1\]
\[x_0=-\frac {b_2-b_1}{a_2-a_1}\]
\[y_0=-a_1\frac {b_2-b_1}{a_2-a_1}+b_1\]
\[y_0=b_1-\frac {a_1(b_2-b_1)}{a_2-a_1}\]
\[y_0=\frac {b_1(a_2-a_1)-a_1(b_2-b_1)}{a_2-a_1}\]
\[A_0(-\frac {b_2-b_1}{a_2-a_1},\frac {b_1(a_2-a_1)-a_1(b_2-b_1)}{a_2-a_1})\]
