The image of P(a,b) on the line y=-x is ...

The image of `P(a,b)` on the line `y=-x` is Q and the image of Q on the line `y=x` is 'R' find the mid-point of 'P' and 'R'

A

`(a+b,b+a)`

B

`((a+b)//2,(b+2)//2)`

C

`(a-b,b-a)`

D

`(0,0)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The point Q is `(-b,-a)` and the point R is `(-a,-b)`. Therefore , the midpoint of PR is `(0,0)`.
