The perpendicular bisector of the line segment connecting the points (-3,8) and (-5,4) has an equation of the form y=mx+b. Find m+b.

m + b = 3 + (-1/7) = 207.

So for perpendicular bisectors has slope 1/6 since the first one has slope -6 and we then get thta the y-intercept is 3 1/3 so we get that the answer is 7/2.
