A perpendicular line can intersect the segment at any point but the perpendicular isector only intersects the segment at its mid-point
Further explanation:
Let us define both terms one by one
line that is perpendicular to a segment:
A line which makes an angle of 90 degrees with another segment is called perpendicular line. A line that is perpendicular to a segment may intersect the segment at any point between the endpoints of the segment.
perpendicular bisector of a segment:
The perpendicular bisector although also makes the angle of 90 degrees with the segment but the perpendicular bisector only intersects the segment at the mid-point of the segment dividing the segement in two equal segments that is why it is called bisector.
