Question

If P is (1, 2) and the line mirror is 2x – y + 4 = 0, find the coordinates of its image (i.e., Q).

Solution

Correct option is

Let the coordinates of Q be (x2y2).

The mid-point of PQ lies on 2x – y + 4 = 0  

  

Also the line PQ is perpendicular to the line mirror.  

  

Solving (i) and (ii), we get
