The correct answer is: 7x-9y+26=0

A1,7, B-5,-1, C7,4

Then the bisector of angle B meets side AC at D then

ADDC=BABC

By using distance formula,

 BA2=36+64=100BA=10

BC2=7--52+4--12=144+25=169

BC=13

So ADDC=1013

Hence D8323,13123

Then the equation of a bisector of angle ABC is

y+1=-1-13123-5-8323x+5

77x-99y+286=0

7x-9y+26=0
