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

Let \(L\) denote the line in the \(xy\)-plane with \(x\) and \(y\) intercepts as \(3\) and \(1\) respectively. Then the image of the point \((-1,-4)\) in this line is

  1. A \(\left(\frac{8}{5}, \frac{29}{5}\right)\)
  2. B \(\left(\frac{29}{5}, \frac{11}{5}\right)\)
  3. C \(\left(\frac{11}{5}, \frac{28}{5}\right)\)
  4. D \(\left(\frac{29}{5}, \frac{8}{5}\right)\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\left(\frac{11}{5}, \frac{28}{5}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(L: \frac{x}{3}+\frac{y}{1}=1 \Rightarrow x+3 y-3=0\) Image of point (-1,-4) \(\frac{x+1}{1}=\frac{y+4}{3}=-2\left(\frac{-1-12-3}{10}\right)\) \(\frac{x+1}{1}=\frac{y+4}{3}=\frac{16}{5}\) \(( x , y ) \equiv\left(\frac{11}{5}, \frac{28}{5}\right)\)
