A ray of light incident along a line, meets another line \(7 x-y+1=0\) at the point \((0,1)\) and it is then reflected from this point along the line \(y+2 x=1\). Then the equation of the line of incidence of the ray of light is

  1. A \(41 x-25 y+25=0\)
  2. B \(41 x+38 y+38=0\)
  3. C \(41 x-38 y+38=0\)
  4. D \(41 x+25 y-25=0\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(41 x-25 y+25=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the slope of incident ray be \(\mathrm{m}\) \(\therefore\) Angle of incidence \(=\) angle of reflection \(\Rightarrow\left|\frac{m-7}{1-7 m}\right|=\left|\frac{-2-7}{1-14}\right|=\frac{9}{13}\) \(\Rightarrow \frac{m-7}{1-7 m}= \pm \frac{9}{13}\)…
