A line segment has endpoints at (8, 3) and (2,5). What would be the equation of

y  = −1/3x+17/3

Step-by-step explanation:

The line segment has slope -1/3. This means that any line perpendicular to it will have a slope of 3 (negative reciprocal)

Any line that bisects the line segment will pass through its midpoint. The midpoint is (5,4)

Midpoint formula:

So perpendicular bisector of this line  is simply a line with slope −1/3 that passes through point (5, 4)

y - 4 = -1/3 (x-5)=

y  =  −1/3x+17/3

You should measure at the Hundredth of a gram.
