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.
