The image of the point 3 , 5 in the line x - y + 1 = 0 , lies on :

The image of the point 3,5 in the line x-y+1=0, lies on :
  1. x-22+y-42=4
  2. x-42+y-42=8
  3. x-42+y+22=16
  4. x-22+y-22=12

Solution

The slope of PP'=-1    ( As, PP' is perpendicular to the given line)

k-5h-3=-1 k+h=8  ...1

Mid-point of PP' lies on the given line,

h+32-k+52+1=0  h+3-k-5+2=0  h-k=0  ...2Solving equation 1 and 2 we get, h=4, k=4

Which satisfy the equation x-22+y-42=4.
