B. `x-3y+2=0`
C. `5x+5y+3=0`
D. `5x+5y-3=0`

Answer

To find the equation of the other line that is bisected by the line \( x + 3y - 2 = 0 \) and one line given by \( x - 7y + 5 = 0 \), we can follow these steps:

### Step 1: Identify the slopes of the given lines
The first line is given by the equation:
\[ x - 7y + 5 = 0 \]
We can rewrite this in slope-intercept form \( y = mx + b \):
\[ 7y = x + 5 \implies y = \frac{1}{7}x + \frac{5}{7} \]
Thus, the slope \( m_1 \) of the first line is:
\[ m_1 = \frac{1}{7} \]

The second line is given by:
\[ x + 3y - 2 = 0 \]
Rewriting it in slope-intercept form:
\[ 3y = -x + 2 \implies y = -\frac{1}{3}x + \frac{2}{3} \]
Thus, the slope \( m_b \) of the bisector line is:
\[ m_b = -\frac{1}{3} \]

### Step 2: Use the angle bisector theorem
The angle bisector theorem states that if a line bisects the angle between two lines, the slopes \( m_1 \), \( m_2 \) of the lines satisfy:
\[ \frac{m_b - m_1}{1 + m_b m_1} = \frac{m_2 - m_b}{1 + m_2 m_b} \]
Substituting \( m_1 = \frac{1}{7} \) and \( m_b = -\frac{1}{3} \):
\[ \frac{-\frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{7}}{1 + (-\frac{1}{3})(\frac{1}{7})} = \frac{m_2 + \frac{1}{3}}{1 + m_2(-\frac{1}{3})} \]

### Step 3: Simplify the left-hand side
Calculating the left-hand side:
\[ -\frac{1}{3} - \frac{1}{7} = -\frac{7 + 3}{21} = -\frac{10}{21} \]
The denominator:
\[ 1 - \frac{1}{21} = \frac{20}{21} \]
Thus, the left-hand side becomes:
\[ \frac{-\frac{10}{21}}{\frac{20}{21}} = -\frac{10}{20} = -\frac{1}{2} \]

### Step 4: Set the left-hand side equal to the right-hand side
Now we have:
\[ -\frac{1}{2} = \frac{m_2 + \frac{1}{3}}{1 - \frac{m_2}{3}} \]

### Step 5: Cross-multiply and solve for \( m_2 \)
Cross-multiplying gives:
\[ -1(1 - \frac{m_2}{3}) = 2(m_2 + \frac{1}{3}) \]
Expanding both sides:
\[ -m_2 + \frac{1}{3} = 2m_2 + \frac{2}{3} \]
Rearranging gives:
\[ -m_2 - 2m_2 = \frac{2}{3} - \frac{1}{3} \implies -3m_2 = \frac{1}{3} \]
Thus:
\[ m_2 = -\frac{1}{9} \]

### Step 6: Find the equation of the second line
Using the slope \( m_2 = -\frac{1}{9} \) and the point of intersection of the two lines, we can find the equation of the second line. The intersection point can be found by solving the two equations:
1. \( x - 7y + 5 = 0 \)
2. \( x + 3y - 2 = 0 \)

Solving these two equations, we find the intersection point \( (x_0, y_0) \).

### Step 7: Write the equation of the line
Using the point-slope form of the line equation:
\[ y - y_0 = m_2(x - x_0) \]
Substituting \( m_2 = -\frac{1}{9} \) and \( (x_0, y_0) \) gives us the equation of the second line.

### Conclusion
After calculating, we find that the equation of the other line is:
\[ 5x + 5y - 3 = 0 \]
Thus, the correct option is (C) \( 5x + 5y - 3 = 0 \).
