Question

Find the harmonic conjugates of the point R(5, 1) with respect to the points P(2, 10) and Q(6, –2).

Solution

Correct option is

R(5, 1) is S(8, –8)

 

Let S(α, β) be the harmonic conjugates of the point R(5, 1). Suppose R divides PQ in the ratio λ : 1 internally then S dividesPQ in the ratio λ : 1 externally then 

                          

      

  

Also, 

        

      

  

Now, 

     

and, 

      

Hence harmonic conjugates of R(5, 1) is S(8, –8).
