Question

Find the equation of the line which bisects the obtuse angle between the lines
x2y+4=0 and 4x3y+2=0

Open in App
Solution

x2y+4=0,4x3y+2=0
c1 and c2 are both +ive and hence taking + out of ± signs we shall get the bisector of the angle in which origin lies. Again
a1a2+b1b2=4+6=10, +ive
Therefore origin lies in obtuse angle
x2y+45=+4x3y+25.....(1)
is the bisector of angle in which origin lies and it lies in obtuse angle. Its equation is
(45)x(325)y+(245)=0
Hence the other bisector of acture angle whose equation is
(4+5)x(3+25)y+(2+45)=0
