Question

The point P ( 2 , 1 ) is shifted through a distance of 3 2 units measured perpendicular to the line x - y = 1 in the direction of decreasing ordinates, to reach at Q . The image of Q with respect to te line y + x = 1 is, 3 , - 4, - 3 , 2, 0 , - 1, 5 , - 2

P Q = 3 2 ⇒ x Q = 2 + 3 2 ⋅ 1 2 = 5 and y Q = 1 - 3 2 ⋅ 1 2 = - 2 ⇒ Q ≡ 5 , - 2 Distance of Q from the line x + y = 1 is 5 - 2 - 1 2 = 2 ⇒ Q R = 2 2 ⇒ x R = 5 - 2 2 ⋅ 1 2 = 3 and y R = - 2 - 2 2 ⋅ 1 2 = - 4 Thus, R ≡ 3 , - 4
