If Q is the image of the point P(2,3,4) under the reflection in the plane x-2 y+5 z=6 , then the equation of the line P Q is
Options
- Ax-2 -1 = y-3 2 = z-4 5
- Bx-2 1 = y-3 -2 = z-4 5
- Cx-2 -1 = y-3 -2 = z-4 5
- Dx-2 1 = y-3 2 = z-4 5
Correct answer
B. x-2 1 = y-3 -2 = z-4 5
Step-by-step solution
Since, the point Q is image of P , therefore P Q is perpendicular to the plane x-2 y+5 z=6 Required equation of the line is x-2 1 = y-3 -2 = z-4 5
