If the image of the point (2, 1) with re...

If the image of the point `(2, 1)` with respect to a line mirror be `(5, 2),` find the equation of the mirror.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let` A=(2,1) & A′=(5,2)`
The line is mirror.
Line is perpendicular to AA′ and passes through the
midpoint. Slope of AA′`=1/3`​
Slope of mirror=−3
Equation
`=(y−3/2)=−3(x−7/2​)`
`=>y−3/2​=−3x+1/(22)​`
`=>2y−3=−6x+21`
