Isogonal Line

\begin{figure}\begin{center}\BoxedEPSF{IsogonalLines.epsf scaled 701}\end{center}\end{figure}

The line $L'$ through a Triangle Vertex obtained by reflecting an initial line $L$ (also through a Vertex) about the Angle Bisector. If three lines from the Vertices of a Triangle $\Delta ABC$ are Concurrent at $X=L_1L_2L_3$, then their isogonal lines are also Concurrent, and the point of concurrence $X'=L_1'L_2'L_3'$ is called the Isogonal Conjugate point.
