Answer the following questions correctly and show your work completely!

1. Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of the line segment joining the points (5, 2) and (-3, 6).
y = 2x + 2
2. The line l 1 passes through the points P(-10, 1) and Q(2, 10). The line l 2 is parallel to l 1 and passes through the
point (4, -1). The point R lies on l 2 , such that QR is perpendicular to l 2 . Find the coordinates of R.
R = (8,2)
3. P is the point (-4, 2) and Q is the point (5, -4) .A line, l , is drawn through P and perpendicular to PQ to meet the
y -axis at the point R.

a. Find the equation of the line l. y = 1,5x + 8

b. Find the coordinates of the point R. (0,8)
c. Find the area of triangle PQR. 39 unit^2
