We have the lines y=3x and y=2x. Let y=mx be the angle bisector of these two lines. How can I find "m"?
To find the slope m of the angle bisector of the lines y=3x and y=2x, we can use the formula for the slope of the angle bisector between two lines given their slopes m1 and m2:
Given the lines y=m1x and y=m2x, the slope m of the angle bisector is given by:
m=m1+m21+m1m2
Here, m1=3 and m2=2. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
m=3+21+3⋅2=51+6=57
Thus, the slope m of the angle bisector is 57.
Correct me if I'm wrong but looking around, I saw the formula
(A1x + B1y + C1)/√(A1^2 + B12) = + (A2 x+ B2y + C2)/√(A2^2 + B2^2)
with
L1 : A1x + B1y + C1 = 0
L2 : A2x + B2y + C2 = 0 .
Does this do the same thing? or is it a different formula
There is a formula similar to the one you showed.
The equation states that we have Ax+By+C√A2+B2=±ax+by+c√a2+b2 for two lines in the form of Ax+By+C=0,ax+by+c=0
It's similar, but the two lines given are in standard form rather than slope-intercept form.
I'm not too familiar on this equation, but I hope this clarified this a bit.
Feel free to ask if you're still confused.
Thanks! :)
Unfortunately, I don't think it's used to calculate the angle bisector of a line.
It is mainly used to calculate if two lines are parrallel to eachother.
Since Ax+By+C√A2+B2 calculates the distance from the origin for the line Ax+By+C=0 and the same applies for the left hand side, if the two are equal, they are parrallel lines.
However, I do believe I know what formula was used.
If we set the slopes of the two lines given in the question to m1 and m2, the slope of the angle bisector is
m=√m1m2+1m1+m2
I hope this helps! If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask!
Thanks! :)
Finally got it. The formula you entered was actually correct and the answer was y=(sqrt2 + 1)x. I watched a video and it explained it quite well.
I'm not sure if y=(√2+1)x is correct though.
Through my understanding, the answer must be y=√75x is the full equation of the line.
Am I mistaken with this judgement?
I entered the problem with an AI math bot...it confirmed my answer...
Thanks! :)
I'll tackle this problem.
First, we have two lines given, y=3x and y=2x
Let's note the slopes of the two line. The slope for the first line is 3, and the slope for the second line is 2.
Let's set m1=3 and m2=2
Using the angle bisector formula, which states that we have
m=√m1m2+1m1+m2 where m1 and m2 are the slopes of the two lines, we have
m=±√3∗2+13+2m=±√75
So our final answer is m=±√75
Thanks! :)
