Distance from a point to line problem in need of some help

[QUOTE="HallsofIvy, post: 4530587, member: 637751"] Ah. That isn't the way I would have done the problem but perhaps this is easier. If two lines intersect then [b]every[/b] point on the lines (there are two) that bisect the the angles they make are equidistant from the two lines. Let (x, y) be a point on the bisector. Write out the formula for the distance from (x, y) to [b]each[/b] of the two lines and set them equal. Solve for y as a function of x. That will be the equation of the bisector. [/QUOTE]
