The reflection of the point (2,-1,3) in the plane 3 x-2 y-z=9 is
Options
- A( 26 7 , 15 7 , 17 7 )
- B( 26 7 , -15 7 , 17 7 )
- C( 15 7 , 26 7 , -17 7 )
- D( 26 7 , 17 7 , -15 7 )
Correct answer
B. ( 26 7 , -15 7 , 17 7 )
Step-by-step solution
By image formula, aligned x₂-x₁ a & = y₂-y₁ b = z₂-z₁ c & =- 2 (a x₁+b y₁+c z₁+d ) a^2+b^2+c^2 aligned aligned x₂-2 3 & = y₂+1 -2 = z₂-3 -1 & =-2 (6+2-3-9) 9+4+1 aligned array ll & x₂-2 3 = y₂+1 -2 = z₂-3 -1 = -2(-4) 14 & x₂= 26 7 , y₂= -15 7 , z₂= 17 7 array
