For triangle ABC, \mathrm{a=\sqrt{(4-5)^2+(-2-5)^2}=5 \sqrt{2}}

\mathrm{b=\sqrt{(1-5)^2+(1-5)^2}=4 \sqrt{2}}

\mathrm{c=\sqrt{(1-4)^2+(1+2)^2}=3 \sqrt{2}}  if incentre of this triangle be (h,k)

then

\mathrm{h=\frac{5 \sqrt{2} \cdot 1+4 \sqrt{2} \cdot 4+3 \sqrt{2} \cdot 5}{5 \sqrt{2}+4 \sqrt{2}+3 \sqrt{2}}=3}

and 

\mathrm{k=\frac{5 \sqrt{2} \cdot 1+4 \sqrt{2} \cdot(-2)+3 \sqrt{2} \cdot 5}{5 \sqrt{2}+4 \sqrt{2}+3 \sqrt{2}}=1}

so incentre is (3, 1) 

equation of interior angle bisector through A is y = 1 

So line perpendicular to it and passing through C(5, 5) will be x = 5.
