Slope of B C $=\frac{1-2}{2-1}=-1$

$A B=A C, \, \, \therefore \angle A B C=\angle A C B$

$\Rightarrow\left|\frac{2+1}{1+2(-1)}\right|=\frac{m+1}{1+m(-1)} \Rightarrow \frac{m+1}{1-m}=|-3| \Rightarrow \frac{m+1}{1-m}= \pm 3 \Rightarrow$ $m=2, \frac{1}{2} .$

$\text { But slope of } A B \text { is } 2 ; \quad \therefore \quad m=\frac{1}{2}$ (Here m is the gradient of the line

Equation of the line AC is $y-1=\frac{1}{2}(x-2) \Rightarrow x-2 y=0 \text { or } y=\frac{x}{2}$
