Given
x+y=0     (1)3x+y4=0     (2)x+3y4=0     (3)
Let θ1 be the angle between equation (1) & (2)  
cosθ1=a1a2+b1b2a22+b12a22+b22=3+11+19+1=4210=420=25θ1=cos125
Let θ2 be the angle between equation (2) & (3)
cosθ2=a1a2+b1b2a12+b12a22+b22
=3(1)+1(3)9+19+1=61010=610=35θ2=cos135
 Let θ3 be the angle between equation (1) & (3) 
cosθ3=a1a2+b1b2a12+b12a22+b22=1(1)+3(1)1+11+9=420=25θ3=cos125; since θ1=θ3
The triangle formed by the given lines is an isosceles triangle
