JEE Mains · Maths · STD 11 - 9. straight line

From the point \((-1, -1)\), two rays are sent making angles of \(45°\) with the line \(x + y = 0\). These rays get reflected from the mirror \(x + 2y = 1\). If the equations of the reflected rays are \(ax + by = 9\) and \(cx + dy = 7\), \(a, b, c, d \in \mathbf{Z}\), then the value of \(ad + bc\) is _______.

  1. A 5
  2. B 7
  3. C 9
  4. D 11

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 7

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given line is \(x + y = 0\), which has a slope of \(m_1 = -1\). Let the slope of an incident ray be \(m\). Since it makes an angle of \(45^{\circ}\) with the line \(x + y = 0\), we have: \(\left| \dfrac{m - (-1)}{1 + m(-1)} \right| = \tan 45^{\circ} = 1\)…
