Q. Find the constant k so that the perpendicular bisector of the line segment with end points (k,0) and (4,6) has a slope of −3.
Calculate Midpoint: Calculate the midpoint of the line segment with endpoints (k,0) and (4,6).
Determine Slope: Determine the slope of the line segment.
Use Perpendicular Bisector Property: Use the property that the slope of the perpendicular bisector is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the line segment.
Solve for k: Solve for k.
