Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
The origin is moved to the point . Write the line as in the new axes, and find the new coordinates of the point .
The lines through the meeting point of and are , except itself. To find the fixed point of a family with a letter , collect the terms with and solve the two brackets together. Three lines are concurrent when the meeting point of two lies on the third. Shifting the origin to puts and .
