Solution

The equation of the bisector of the angle between two lines consisting of the point (α,β) is
a1x+b1y+c1a12+b12=±a2x+b2y+c2a22+b22
The equation is (3x4y+12)5=±(12x5y+7)13 at point (-1,4) value of (3x4y+12)(12x5y+7)>0
On taking the positive sign,
(3x4y+12)5=(12x5y+7)1339x52y+156=60x25y+3521x+27y121=0

Hence, the required equation of the bisector of the angle between two lines is 12x+27y-121=0
