To find the equation of the line containing the reflected ray of light, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Find the intersection point of the two lines We need to find the point of intersection (P) of the lines given by the equations: 1. \( x - 2y - 3 = 0 \) (Incident ray) 2. \( 3x - 2y - 5 = 0 \) (Reflecting surface) To find the intersection, we can solve these equations simultaneously. ...
