A ray of light is incident along a line which meets another line 7x...
A ray of light is incident along a line which meets another line at the point \left(0, 1\right)y + 2x = 1$. Then the equation of the line of incidence of the ray of light is :
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
C.
Step-by-step solution
Let slope of incident ray be
angle of incidence = angle of reflection
\left|\dfrac{m - 7}{1 + 7m}\right| = \left|\dfrac{- 2 - 7}{1 - 14}\right| = \dfrac{9}{13}⇒ \dfrac{m - 7}{1 + 7m} = \dfrac{9}{13}or\dfrac{m - 7}{1 + 7m} = - \dfrac{9}{13}⇒ 13m - 91 = 9 + 63m13m - 91 = - 9 - 63m⇒ m = -2m = \dfrac{41}{38}⇒ y - 1 = \dfrac{41}{38}\left(x - 0\right)⇒ 38y - 38 - 41x = 0
