$$\(A\)$$ is the point $$\((1,5)\)$$ and $$\(B\)$$ is the point $$\((3,9)\)$$. $$\(M\)$$ is the midpoint of $$\(A B\)$$. Find the equation of the line that is perpendicular to $$\(A B\)$$ and passes through $$\(M\)$$. Give your answer in the form $$\(y=m x+c\)$$. $$\[ y=............................................. \]$$
