The correct Answer is:
To find the equations of the angle bisectors formed by the lines \( x + 2y + 3 = 0 \) and \( 2x + y - 2 = 0 \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the coefficients of the lines The equations of the lines can be rewritten in the standard form \( Ax + By + C = 0 \): - For the first line \( x + 2y + 3 = 0 \): - \( A_1 = 1 \), \( B_1 = 2 \), \( C_1 = 3 \) - For the second line \( 2x + y - 2 = 0 \): - \( A_2 = 2 \), \( B_2 = 1 \), \( C_2 = -2 \) ### 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 magnitudes of the coefficients Calculate \( \sqrt{A_1^2 + B_1^2} \) and \( \sqrt{A_2^2 + B_2^2} \): - For the first line: \[ \sqrt{A_1^2 + B_1^2} = \sqrt{1^2 + 2^2} = \sqrt{1 + 4} = \sqrt{5} \] - For the second line: \[ \sqrt{A_2^2 + B_2^2} = \sqrt{2^2 + 1^2} = \sqrt{4 + 1} = \sqrt{5} \] ### Step 4: Substitute into the angle bisector formula Substituting into the formula gives: \[ \frac{1x + 2y + 3}{\sqrt{5}} = \pm \frac{2x + 1y - 2}{\sqrt{5}} \] ### Step 5: Remove the denominators Multiplying through by \( \sqrt{5} \) to eliminate the denominators: \[ 1x + 2y + 3 = \pm (2x + 1y - 2) \] ### Step 6: Solve for both cases (positive and negative) **Case 1: Positive sign** \[ x + 2y + 3 = 2x + y - 2 \] Rearranging gives: \[ x - 2y + 5 = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad x - 2y = -5 \] **Case 2: Negative sign** \[ x + 2y + 3 = - (2x + y - 2) \] Rearranging gives: \[ 3x + y + 1 = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad 3x + y = -1 \] ### Final Equations of the Angle Bisectors The equations of the angle bisectors are: 1. \( x - 2y + 5 = 0 \) 2. \( 3x + y + 1 = 0 \)
