Find the image of the point `(3, 8)`with respect to the line `x + 3y = 7`assuming the line to be a plane mirror.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let line AB be `x+3y=7` and point P be `(3,8)`
Let Q(h,k) be the image of point `P(3,8)` in the line `x+3y=7`
Since line AB is a mirror,
1) Point P and Q are at equal distance from line AB, i.e., PR=QR, i.e., R is the mid-point of PQ.
