Detailed Solution

 The equation of any line which makes an angle α with the line ax+by+c=0 and passing 

 through the point x1,y1 can be taken as yy1=tan(θ±α)xx1, here θ is the 

 inclination of the line ax+by+c=0

 The slope of the line ax+by+c=0 is m=ab=tanθ

 Since the hypotenuse of right angled isosceles triangle is 7x+y8=0 and opposite vertex is 

 (1,1) then the other two sides makes equal angles 45 each with the hypotenuse and passing 

 through the point (1,1)

 Hence, tanθ=7,α=45

 Therefore, the equation of one side is 

y1=tanθ+45°x1=1+tanθ1tanθx1=34x1

It implies, 

4y4=3x+33x+4y7=0

And the equation of the other side is 

y1=tanθ45°x1=tanθ1tanθ+1x1=43x1

It implies, 

3y3=4x44x3y1=0

 Therefore, two sides of given triangle are 3x+4y7=0,4x3y1=0
