Find the equations of the bisectors of the angles between the lines 2x + 4y - 3 = 0 and 2x - y + 7 = 0 and verify that the bisectors are at right angles to one another.
Added by Alexis H.
Step 1
To find the slopes of the given lines, we can write them in slope-intercept form: 2x+4y-3=0 4y=-2x+3 y=-1/2x+3/4 So, the slope of the first line is -1/2. 2x-y+7=0 -y=-2x-7 y=2x+7 So, the slope of the second line is 2. Show more…
