To find the coordinates of point A where the ray of light reflects on the x-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the points We have two points: - Point P (the point where the ray of light starts): \( P(1, 2) \) - Point Q (the point where the reflected ray passes through): \( Q(5, 3) \) ### Step 2: Determine the mirror image of point Q ...
