Consider three points A(1,2)A(1,2), B(4,5)B(4,5), and C(2,−1)C(2,-1). (1) Find the equation of the perpendicular bisector of: (i) [AB][AB], (ii) [AC][AC], (iii) [BC][BC]. (2) Graph the three perpendicular bisectors on the same set of axes. Discuss your observations. (3) Describe how to find the centre of the circle which passes through three non-collinear points.
