Step1: Find slope of line through A and B

The slope formula is $m=\frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}$. For points A(-2,-3) and B(5,3), $m_{AB}=\frac{3-(-3)}{5 - (-2)}=\frac{3 + 3}{5+2}=\frac{6}{7}$.

Step2: Find slope of perpendicular line

If two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is - 1. Let the slope of the perpendicular line be $m_p$. Then $m_{AB}\times m_p=-1$. So $m_p=-\frac{7}{6}$.

Use the mid - point formula $(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2},\frac{y_1 + y_2}{2})$. For points A(-2,-3) and B(5,3), $x_1=-2,x_2 = 5,y_1=-3,y_2 = 3$. Then the mid - point is $(\frac{-2 + 5}{2},\frac{-3+3}{2})=(\frac{3}{2},0)$.

Use the distance formula $d=\sqrt{(x_2 - x_1)^2+(y_2 - y_1)^2}$. For points A(-2,-3) and B(5,3), $x_1=-2,x_2 = 5,y_1=-3,y_2 = 3$. Then $d=\sqrt{(5-(-2))^2+(3 - (-3))^2}=\sqrt{(5 + 2)^2+(3 + 3)^2}=\sqrt{49 + 36}=\sqrt{85}$.

Answer:

$-\frac{7}{6}$
