Straight Lines

One of the bisectors of the angle between lines
a(x-1)2+2h(x-1)(y-1)+b(y-2)2=0 is
x+2y-5=0

The other bisector is ????

(x-1)+2(y-2) = 0

so at the point of intersection, (x-1) = -2(y-2)

hence (4a+b)(y-2)2-4h(y-2)(y-1)=0

Thus, y=2 or (4a+b)(y-1-1)=4h(y-1)

(4a+b-4h)y=4a+b

y = (4a+b)/(4a+b-4h)

but there is a single point of intersection.. so (4a+b)/(4a+b-4h)=2

hence, 4a+b=2(4a+b)-8h

4a+b=8h

now can you solve the rest?

Sir can u pls explain the 1st and 2nd steps ?

see there is a single point of intersection fo the bisector and a pair of straight lines

now to make things simple, i have assumed a different form of the line.. x+2y-5=0

that is becasue it makes substitution easier....

once you do that you solve for the 2 roots of y.. but you should have a repeated root.. because there is one point of intersection :)
