If ${ P } _{ 1 }\left( \dfrac { 1 }{ 5 } ,\alpha  \right)$ and ${P } _{ 2 }\left( \beta ,\dfrac { 18 }{ 5 }  \right)$ be the images of point $P\left( 1,\gamma  \right)$ about lines ${ L } _{ 1 }:2x-y=\lambda$ and ${ L } _{ 2 }:2y+x=4$ respectively, then the value of $\alpha$is-

  1. $-\dfrac { 3 }{ 5 }$
  2. $\dfrac { 2 }{ 5 }$
  3. $\dfrac { 7 }{ 5 }$
  4. $-\dfrac { 8 }{ 5 }$

A Correct answer
Explanation

Use the reflection formula for a point across a line to find the coordinates of P1 and P2 in terms of lambda and gamma, then solve for alpha.

The image of $P(a, b)$ in the line $y= -x$ is $Q$ and the image of $Q$ in the line $y=x$ is $R$. Then the midpoint of $PR$ is

  1. $(a+b, b+a)$
  2. $\left(\dfrac{a+b}{2}, \dfrac{b+a}{2}\right)$
  3. $(a-b, b-a)$
  4. $(0, 0)$

D Correct answer
Explanation

Consider point P and Q
The line which is perpendicular to $y=-x$ and passes through $(a,b)$ will be
$\dfrac{y-b}{x-a}=1$
$y=x-(a-b)$
Now the point where it intersects $y=-x$ is
$-x=x-(a-b)$
$2x=(a-b)$
$x=\dfrac{a-b}{2}$ and hence $y=\dfrac{b-a}{2}$
This will be the mid point of PQ since Q is the image of point P on the line $y=-x$
Therefore $Q=(-b,-a)$
Similarly $R=(-a,-b)$
Hence The midpoint of PR will be $(0,0)$

If $\displaystyle \left ( -2, 6 \right )$ is the image of the point $\displaystyle \left ( 4,2 \right )$ with respect to the line $\displaystyle L=0$, then $\displaystyle L=$

  1. $\displaystyle 6x-4y-7=0$
  2. $\displaystyle 2x-3y-5=0$
  3. $\displaystyle 3x-2y+5=0$
  4. $\displaystyle 3x-2y+10=0$

C Correct answer
Explanation

Slope of line joining the image $Q(-2,6)$ and the point $P(4,2)$ is $\displaystyle -\frac{2}{3}$

So, the slope of mirror $L$ is $\displaystyle \frac{3}{2}$

Mid-point of $PQ$ is $(1,4)$

Since, the image and point are equidistant from mirror. So, this point $(1,4)$ lies on the mirror.

So, the equation of mirror is
$y-4=\displaystyle \frac{3}{2} (x-1)$

$\Rightarrow 3x-2y+5=0$

The equation of image of pair of lines $y=|x-1|$ with respect to y-axis is 

  1. ${x^2} - {y^2} - 2x + 1 = 0$
  2. ${x^2} - {y^2} - 4x + 4 = 0$
  3. $4{x^2} - 4x - {y^2} + 1 = 0$
  4. ${x^2} - {y^2} + 2x + 1 = 0$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

We have $y=|x-1|$


$\Rightarrow y^2=(x-1)^2$

Change $x$ by $-x$, then the required image is 

$y^2=(-x-1)^2$

$\Rightarrow y^2=x^2+2x+1$

$\Rightarrow x^2-y^2+2x+1=0$
