CSEC Mathematics · May/June 2016 · Paper 2 · Question 6(a)(ii)

A diagram shows the graph of the straight line x + y = 3. Points A and B are marked on the line.

Determine the equation of the line which is perpendicular to the line x + y = 3 and passes through the midpoint of AB.

This question uses a figure or table from the paper — you'll see it when you practise.
