The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the angle bisector of the angle PQR formed by the points P = (-1, 0), Q = (0, 0), and R = (3, 3√3), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Points We have three points: - P = (-1, 0) - Q = (0, 0) - R = (3, 3√3) ### Step 2: Calculate the Slopes of Lines PQ and QR 1. **Slope of line QR**: - Using the formula for slope \( m = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1} \): \[ m_{QR} = \frac{3\sqrt{3} - 0}{3 - 0} = \frac{3\sqrt{3}}{3} = \sqrt{3} \] 2. **Slope of line PQ**: - Using the same formula: \[ m_{PQ} = \frac{0 - 0}{0 - (-1)} = \frac{0}{1} = 0 \] ### Step 3: Determine the Angles 1. **Angle at Q (PQR)**: - The slope of line QR is \( \sqrt{3} \), which corresponds to an angle \( \theta \) where: \[ \tan(\theta) = \sqrt{3} \implies \theta = \frac{\pi}{3} \text{ (or 60 degrees)} \] - The angle PQR is the angle between the line PQ (which is horizontal) and line QR. Since line PQ is horizontal, the angle PQR is: \[ \text{Angle PQR} = 180^\circ - 60^\circ = 120^\circ = \frac{2\pi}{3} \] ### Step 4: Find the Angle Bisector 1. **Angle Bisector**: - The angle bisector divides the angle PQR into two equal parts: \[ \text{Angle of bisector} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2\pi}{3} = \frac{\pi}{3} \] ### Step 5: Determine the Slope of the Bisector 1. **Slope of the Bisector**: - The slope of the angle bisector can be found using: \[ m = \tan\left(\frac{\pi}{3}\right) = \sqrt{3} \] ### Step 6: Write the Equation of the Bisector 1. **Equation of the line**: - Since the angle bisector passes through point Q (0, 0), we can use the point-slope form of the line: \[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \] - Substituting \( (x_1, y_1) = (0, 0) \) and \( m = \sqrt{3} \): \[ y - 0 = \sqrt{3}(x - 0) \implies y = \sqrt{3}x \] 2. **Rearranging to standard form**: - Rearranging gives: \[ -\sqrt{3}x + y = 0 \implies \sqrt{3}x - y = 0 \] ### Final Answer The equation of the bisector of the angle PQR is: \[ \sqrt{3}x - y = 0 \]

To find the equation of the angle bisector of the angle PQR formed by the points P = (-1, 0), Q = (0, 0), and R = (3, 3√3), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the Points We have three points: - P = (-1, 0) - Q = (0, 0) - R = (3, 3√3) ...
