3. find the equation of a line between two points
4. calculate the equation of the perpendicular bisector of two points. A perpendicular bisector can be
defined as a line segment which intersects another line (the imaginary line between the two points)
perpendicularly and divides it into two equal parts. Two lines are said to be perpendicular to each
other if they intersect at 90! .
