The isogonal theorem
Isogonal lines definition
Let a line and a point lying on be given. A pair of lines symmetric with respect to and containing the point be called isogonals with respect to the pair
Sometimes it is convenient to take one pair of isogonals as the base one, for example, and are the base pair. Then we call the remaining pairs as isogonals with respect to the angle
Projective transformation
It is known that the transformation that maps a point with coordinates into a point with coordinates is projective.
If the abscissa axis coincides with the line and the origin coincides with the point then the isogonals define the equations and the lines symmetrical with respect to the line become their images.
It is clear that, under the converse transformation (also projective), such pairs of lines become isogonals, and the points equidistant from lie on the isogonals.
The isogonal theorem
Let two pairs of isogonals and with respect to the pair be given. Denote
Prove that and are the isogonals with respect to the pair
Proof
Let us perform a projective transformation of the plane that maps the point into a point at infinity and the line maps to itself. In this case, the isogonals turn into a pair of straight lines parallel to and equidistant from
The converse (also projective) transformation maps the points equidistant from onto isogonals. We denote the image and the preimage with the same symbols.
Let the images of isogonals are vertical lines. Let coordinates of images of points be Equation of a straight line is
Equation of a straight line is
The abscissa of the point is
Equation of a straight line is
Equation of a straight line is
The abscissa of the point is
Preimages of the points and lie on the isogonals.
The isogonal theorem in the case of parallel lines
Let and are isogonals with respect
Let lines and intersect at point
Prove that and line through parallel to are the isogonals with respect
Proof
The preimage of is located at infinity on the line
The equality implies the equality the slopes modulo of and to the bisector of
Converse theorem
Let lines and intersect at point
Let and be the isogonals with respect
Prove that and are isogonals with respect
Proof
The preimage of is located at infinity on the line so the slope of is known.
Suppose that
The segment and the lines are fixed
intersects at
but there is the only point where line intersect Сontradiction.
