The image of the point (P(3,8) ) with respect to the line (x+3 y=7 ), assuming the line to be a plane mirror, is equal to .........
Options
- A((1,4) )
- B((-1,4) )
- C((1,-4) )
- D((-1,-4) )
Correct answer
D. ((-1,-4) )
Step-by-step solution
Let image is (P^ (h, k) ) Then (P P^ ) is perpendicular to given line and mid point of (P P^ ) lies over line. So, we have ( aligned & & ( 8-k 3-h ) -1 3 & =-1 & & 8-k & =3(3-h) (i) & And, & 3+h 2 +3 ( 8+k 2 ) & =7 & & 3+h+24+3 k & =14 (ii) & & h+3 k+13 & =0 aligned ) ( ) (h=-1 and k=-4 ) So image is, ((-1,-4) ).
