The correct Answer is:
To find the equations of the bisectors of the angles formed by the lines \(3x - 4y + 12 = 0\) and \(4x + 3y + 2 = 0\), we will use the formula for the angle bisectors of two lines given in the form \(a_1x + b_1y + c_1 = 0\) and \(a_2x + b_2y + c_2 = 0\). ### Step 1: Identify coefficients From the equations of the lines, we can identify: - For the first line \(3x - 4y + 12 = 0\): - \(a_1 = 3\) - \(b_1 = -4\) - \(c_1 = 12\) - For the second line \(4x + 3y + 2 = 0\): - \(a_2 = 4\) - \(b_2 = 3\) - \(c_2 = 2\) ### Step 2: Use the angle bisector formula The equations of the angle bisectors can be found using the formula: \[ \frac{a_1x + b_1y + c_1}{\sqrt{a_1^2 + b_1^2}} = \pm \frac{a_2x + b_2y + c_2}{\sqrt{a_2^2 + b_2^2}} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the denominators Calculate \(\sqrt{a_1^2 + b_1^2}\) and \(\sqrt{a_2^2 + b_2^2}\): - \(\sqrt{3^2 + (-4)^2} = \sqrt{9 + 16} = \sqrt{25} = 5\) - \(\sqrt{4^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5\) ### Step 4: Substitute into the bisector formula Substituting the values into the bisector formula gives: \[ \frac{3x - 4y + 12}{5} = \pm \frac{4x + 3y + 2}{5} \] ### Step 5: Simplify the equations 1. For the positive case: \[ 3x - 4y + 12 = 4x + 3y + 2 \] Rearranging gives: \[ 3x - 4x - 4y - 3y + 12 - 2 = 0 \] Simplifying: \[ -x + 7y + 10 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x - 7y - 10 = 0 \] 2. For the negative case: \[ 3x - 4y + 12 = - (4x + 3y + 2) \] Rearranging gives: \[ 3x - 4y + 12 + 4x + 3y + 2 = 0 \] Simplifying: \[ 7x - y + 14 = 0 \] ### Final Result The equations of the angle bisectors are: 1. \(x - 7y - 10 = 0\) 2. \(7x - y + 14 = 0\)
