Let Point P be (1, 6, 3) Let Q (a, b, c) be the image of point P (1, 6, 3) in the line š ā Since line is a mirror Point P & Q are at equal distance from line AB, i.e. PR = QR, i.e. R is the mid point of PQ Image is formed perpendicular to mirror i.e. line PQ is perpendicular to line š ā Given line is š ā=(š Ė+2š Ė)+š(š Ė+2š Ė+3š Ė) In cartesian form (š ā š)/š = (š ā š)/š = (š ā š)/š Since PQ ā„ Line 1 (š_1) ā“ PR ā„ Line 1 (š_š) Coordinates of R Since R lies of line š_1 ā“ (š„ ā 0)/1 = (š¦ ā 1)/2 = (š§ ā 2)/3 = š ā“ x = š , y = 2š + 1 and z = 3š + 2Direction ratios of Line š_š Since equation of lines is (š ā š)/š = (š ā š)/š = (š ā š)/š Direction ratios are 1, 2, 3 Direction ratios of Line PR Coordinates of P (1, 6, 3) Coordinates of R R (š, 2š + 1, 3š + 2) Direction ratios are š ā 1, 2š + 1 ā 6 & 3š + 2 ā 3 i.e. š ā 1, 2š ā 5 & 3š ā 1 14š ā 14 = 0 14š = 14 š = 14/14 š = 1 Now, Coordinates of R = (š, 2š + 1, 3š + 2) = (1, 2(1) + 1, 3(1) + 2) = (š, 3, 5) Since R is the midpoint of PQ Coordinates of R = ((š + š)/š " , " (š + š)/š " , " (š + š)/š) (1, 3, 5)= ((š + š)/š " , " (š + š)/š " , " (š + š)/š) 1 = (1+š)/2 , 3 = (6+š)/2 , 5 = (3+š)/2 2 = 1 + a, 6 = 6 + b , 10 = 3 + c ā“ a = 1, b = 0 and c = 7 Hence, Q(1,0,7) is the required image of P Finding the distance of the image from the š-axis. Distance of Q(1, 0, 7) from the š¦-axis = Distance of parallel point Y and point Q = Distance of point Y (0, 0, 0) and point Q (1, 0, 7) =ā(ć(0ā1)ć^2 + ć(0ā0)ć^2 + ć(0ā7)ć^2 ) =ā(1+49) =āšš units asdf
