The incident ray is along the line 3x-4y...

The incident ray is along the line `3x-4y-3=0` and the reflected ray is along the line `24 x+7y+5=0.` Find the equation of mirrors.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
9x+27y+20=0 or 39x-13y-10=0

Mirrors are always along the bisectors of incident ray and reflected ray.
Now, the equations of bisectors are
`(3x-4y-3)/(5) = +-(24x+7y+5)/(25)`
Therefore, the equations of mirror are
9x+27y+20 = 0
or 39x-13y-10 = 0
