To find the coordinates of point A where the ray of light reflects on the x-axis, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Define the coordinates of point A Let the coordinates of point A be \( (k, 0) \) since A lies on the x-axis. ### Step 2: Determine the slopes of the lines 1. **Slope of line PA** (from point P(1, 2) to A(k, 0)): \[ ...
