Let K = (5,12), L = (14,0), and M= (0,0). The line x + 2y = 14 bisects angle MLK. Find equations for the bisector of angles KML and MKL. Is the slope of segment MK twice the slope of the bisector through M. Should it have been? Show that the three lines concur at a point C. Does C have any special significance?
