The distance from the origin to the image of $(1,1)$ with respect to the line $x+y+5=0$ is

The distance from the origin to the image of $(1,1)$ with respect to the line $x+y+5=0$ is
  1. $7 \sqrt{2}$
  2. $3 \sqrt{2}$
  3. $6 \sqrt{2}$
  4. $4 \sqrt{2}$

Solution

As we know that the image of $(1,1)$ with respect to line $x+y+5=0$ is $\begin{aligned} & \frac{x-1}{1}=\frac{y-1}{1}=\frac{2(1+1+5)}{1+1} \\ & \Rightarrow x-1=-7, y-1=-7 \\ & \Rightarrow x=-6, y=-6 \end{aligned}$ $\therefore \quad$ Image of point $(1,1)$ is $(-6,-6)$ Now, distance from origin This is the required transformed equation. $\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{D}=\sqrt{(0+6)^2+(0+6)^2} \\ & \mathrm{D}=\sqrt{72}=6 \sqrt{2} \end{aligned}$
