The image of the point (3, 5) in the line x - y + 1 = 0 , lies on :

The image of the point (3,5)\left(3, 5\right) in the line x−y+1=0x - y + 1 = 0, lies on :The image of the point (3, 5) in the line x - y + 1 = 0 , lies on :

Options

  1. A(x−2)2+(y−4)2=4{\left(x - 2\right)}^{2} + {\left(y - 4\right)}^{2} = 4
  2. B(x−4)2+(y−4)2=8{\left(x - 4\right)}^{2} + {\left(y - 4\right)}^{2} = 8
  3. C(x−4)2+(y+2)2=16{\left(x - 4\right)}^{2} + {\left(y + 2\right)}^{2} = 16
  4. D(x−2)2+(y−2)2=12{\left(x - 2\right)}^{2} + {\left(y - 2\right)}^{2} = 12

Correct answer

A. (x−2)2+(y−4)2=4{\left(x - 2\right)}^{2} + {\left(y - 4\right)}^{2} = 4

Step-by-step solution

The image of the point (3, 5) in the line x - y + 1 = 0 , lies on :

The slope of PP′=−1PP ' = - 1 ( As, PP′PP ' is perpendicular to the given line)

⇒k−5h−3=−1⇒k+h=8...(1)⇒ \dfrac{k - 5}{h - 3} = - 1 ⇒ k + h = 8 . . . \left(1\right)

Mid-point of PP′P{P}^{'} lies on the given line,

⇒(h+32)−(k+52)+1=0⇒h+3−k−5+2=0⇒h−k=0...(2)⇒ \left(\dfrac{h + 3}{2}\right) - \left(\dfrac{k + 5}{2}\right) + 1 = 0 ⇒ h + 3 - k - 5 + 2 = 0 ⇒ h - k = 0 . . . \left(2\right)Solving equation \left(1\right)and(2)and \left(2\right) we get, h=4,k=4h = 4, k = 4

Which satisfy the equation (x−2)2+(y−4)2=4{\left(x - 2\right)}^{2} + {\left(y - 4\right)}^{2} = 4.
