The correct Answer is:
To find the equations of the bisectors of the angles between the straight lines given by the equations \(3x - 4y + 7 = 0\) and \(12x - 5y - 8 = 0\), we can use the formula for the angle bisectors of two lines. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the coefficients**: For the first line \(3x - 4y + 7 = 0\), we have: - \(A_1 = 3\) - \(B_1 = -4\) - \(C_1 = 7\) For the second line \(12x - 5y - 8 = 0\), we have: - \(A_2 = 12\) - \(B_2 = -5\) - \(C_2 = -8\) 2. **Use the angle bisector formula**: The equations of the angle bisectors can be given by: \[ \frac{A_1x + B_1y + C_1}{\sqrt{A_1^2 + B_1^2}} = \pm \frac{A_2x + B_2y + C_2}{\sqrt{A_2^2 + B_2^2}} \] 3. **Calculate the denominators**: - For the first line: \[ \sqrt{A_1^2 + B_1^2} = \sqrt{3^2 + (-4)^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \] - For the second line: \[ \sqrt{A_2^2 + B_2^2} = \sqrt{12^2 + (-5)^2} = \sqrt{144 + 25} = \sqrt{169} = 13 \] 4. **Set up the equation**: Plugging into the bisector formula gives: \[ \frac{3x - 4y + 7}{5} = \pm \frac{12x - 5y - 8}{13} \] 5. **Cross-multiply**: This results in two equations: - Positive case: \[ 13(3x - 4y + 7) = 5(12x - 5y - 8) \] - Negative case: \[ 13(3x - 4y + 7) = -5(12x - 5y - 8) \] 6. **Solve the positive case**: Expanding the positive case: \[ 39x - 52y + 91 = 60x - 25y - 40 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 60x - 39x - 25y + 52y - 40 - 91 = 0 \] Simplifying: \[ 21x + 27y - 131 = 0 \] 7. **Solve the negative case**: Expanding the negative case: \[ 39x - 52y + 91 = -60x + 25y + 40 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 39x + 60x - 52y - 25y + 91 - 40 = 0 \] Simplifying: \[ 99x - 77y + 51 = 0 \] 8. **Final equations of the bisectors**: The equations of the bisectors are: - \(21x + 27y - 131 = 0\) (first bisector) - \(99x - 77y + 51 = 0\) (second bisector)
