Dear Aditya,

Suppose we have two equations ax++by+c=0 and px+qy+r=0. First we make c and r positive. Then equations of bisectors are-

For bisector containing origin, + sign is used and - sign for the other.

For your question, this method could be used.

Post all your doubts here. Kindly approve the answer if you like it.

Best of Luck!

The Bisector Of These Lines Passes Through The Point Of Intersection Of These Lines As Well As Origin.

4x+y-7=0

    or

16+4y-28.......................(i)

x-4y+3=0........................(ii)

Solving (i) and (ii)

We get:

x=25/17 and y=19/17

The Required Line Passes Through (0,0) and (25/17,19/17)

Therefore Equation:

19y-25x=0
