Solution 1
Denote by the intersection point of the lines and . Let moreover and . From these equalities it follows that the triangles and are similar (see Figure 1). Therefore we obtain
Moreover,
Hence the triangles and are similar. This gives , so the triangles and are also similar. Thus we get
which completes the solution.

Solution 2
As in the previous solution, denote by the intersection point of the lines and . Let moreover the circumcircle of the triangle intersect the lines and again at and , respectively (see Figure 2).
Note that and similarly . It implies that the lines and meet at a point , being symmetric to the point with respect to the line . Since and , it follows that lies on the line . Therefore, using Pascal's theorem for the hexagon , we infer that lies on the circumcircle of the triangle , which finishes the proof.
