Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) -3

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let \(\triangle \mathrm{ABC}\) be the isosceles triangle where \(\mathrm{AB}=\mathrm{AC}\) Hence Bisector of Angle \(\angle B A C\) will also be the perpendicular on line \(\mathrm{BC}\). Let \(m_1\) and \(m\) be the slopes of bisector lines AP and line \(B C\) respectively.…
