we are given two lines, their point-slope forms are
:
y = -2x + 4.5 (red line)
y = 2x - 8 (green line)
:
consider the graph of these two lines
:

:
******************************************************
the two lines intersect at the point (3.125, -1.75)
*****************************************************
:
the two lines intersect the x axis at (2.25, 0) and (4, 0)
:
each point on the bisector of the acute angle is equidistant from each line so let's consider where the bisector intersects the x axis
:
******************************************************************************
we know that the x coordinate of this point is 2.25 + ((4 - 2.25) / 2) = 3.125 and the midpoint is (3.125, 0)
*******************************************************************************
:
we now have two points on the acute angle bisector line
:
calculate the slope of the line
:
m = (3.125 - 3.125) / (-1.75 - 0) = 0
:
we have a vertical line at x = 3.125
:
******************************************************
The equation of the acute angle bisector is x = 3.125
