The correct answer is: -1,5,5,1

Given the circle has centre 2,3 and it passes through the point 0,0.

So, the radius of the circle is 22+32=13

The equation of the line which passes through the point 0,0 & 2,3 is y-0=3-02-0x-0y=32x

So, the slope of OC=32

From the diagram, the line PQ is perpendicular to the line OC.

So, the slope of PQ is -23

So, tanθ=-23

Using symmetric from of line

The coordinate of P=2+13cosθ,3+13sinθ

=2+13·-313,3+13213

=-1,5

The coordinate of Q=2-13cosθ,3-13sinθ

=2-13·-313,3-13213

=5,1
