When the slope of the angle bisector is 1, is the product of the slopes of the 2 lines forming the angle...
When the slope of the angle bisector is 1, I have been told that the product of the slopes of the 2 lines forming the original angle is 1. Is this true?

I think this is true expect for when the two lines are x and y axis.
