    Could you tell me the name of the Chapter? Or the name of this particular Subject? I don't know any mathematical language, in English.

    I believe @Alen is pretty good at Maths

    @Capevaldo
    @Ravallo: This question is quite an advanced linear graph question. It's about a year 9-11 question. It involves calculating midpoints, finding the normal/gradient of a graph, finding equations by using formulas etc.
    First of all, find the mid point.
    (2,3)

    Second, find the the gradient of the 2 points using the formula: y1-y2/x1-x2= 4-2/1-3=2/-2=-1
    Therefore m= -1.
    The bisector must be the normal of the gradient as it is perpendicular.
    Normal= -1/m
    Therefore the gradient of your bisector is -1/(-1) which is 1.

    Use the formula
    y2-y1=m(x2-x1)
    sub in the midpoint and gradient of the bisector
    y-3=1(x-2)
    y=x+1

    Sorry if I'm wrong, I was in a rush.




    If in assistance of any math problems, I can try to assist you in the future.

    I think you're right, @Foxy.

    My math book has answers for exercises... the answer for this exercise is
    x - y + 1 = 0

    And your answer is: y = x + 1 ~~> x - y + 1 = 0
    *-*
