The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to show that every point on the line \(2x + 11y - 5 = 0\) is at an equal distance from the lines \(24x + 7y - 20 = 0\) and \(4x - 3y - 2 = 0\). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Rewrite the equations of the lines**: - The first line is already given as \(2x + 11y - 5 = 0\). - The second line can be rewritten as \(24x + 7y - 20 = 0\). - The third line can be rewritten as \(4x - 3y - 2 = 0\). 2. **Identify the coefficients**: - For the line \(24x + 7y - 20 = 0\), the coefficients are \(A_1 = 24\), \(B_1 = 7\), and \(C_1 = -20\). - For the line \(4x - 3y - 2 = 0\), the coefficients are \(A_2 = 4\), \(B_2 = -3\), and \(C_2 = -2\). 3. **Check the sign of \(A_1B_2 - A_2B_1\)**: - Calculate \(A_1B_2 - A_2B_1 = 24 \cdot (-3) - 4 \cdot 7 = -72 - 28 = -100\). - Since this value is negative, it indicates that the angle between the two lines is acute. 4. **Find the equation of the angle bisectors**: - The formula for the angle bisectors between two lines \(A_1x + B_1y + C_1 = 0\) and \(A_2x + B_2y + C_2 = 0\) is given by: \[ \frac{A_1x + B_1y + C_1}{\sqrt{A_1^2 + B_1^2}} = \pm \frac{A_2x + B_2y + C_2}{\sqrt{A_2^2 + B_2^2}} \] 5. **Substituting the values**: - For the acute angle bisector: \[ \frac{24x + 7y - 20}{\sqrt{24^2 + 7^2}} = \frac{4x - 3y - 2}{\sqrt{4^2 + (-3)^2}} \] - Simplifying the left side: \[ \sqrt{24^2 + 7^2} = \sqrt{576 + 49} = \sqrt{625} = 25 \] - Simplifying the right side: \[ \sqrt{4^2 + (-3)^2} = \sqrt{16 + 9} = \sqrt{25} = 5 \] 6. **Setting up the equation**: - The equation becomes: \[ \frac{24x + 7y - 20}{25} = \frac{4x - 3y - 2}{5} \] - Cross-multiplying gives: \[ 5(24x + 7y - 20) = 25(4x - 3y - 2) \] 7. **Expanding and simplifying**: - Expanding both sides: \[ 120x + 35y - 100 = 100x - 75y - 50 \] - Rearranging gives: \[ 120x - 100x + 35y + 75y - 100 + 50 = 0 \] - This simplifies to: \[ 20x + 110y - 50 = 0 \quad \text{or} \quad 2x + 11y - 5 = 0 \] 8. **Conclusion**: - The equation \(2x + 11y - 5 = 0\) is indeed the angle bisector, confirming that every point on this line is equidistant from the two given lines.
