Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(\left(-\frac{14}{13},-\frac{8}{13}\right)\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Let the image of the point \(A(2,4)\) in the line mirror \(D E\) be \(C(\alpha, \beta)\). Then, \(A C\) is perpendicular to \(D E\). \(\therefore\) The coordinate of point \(B\) are \(\left(\frac{\alpha+2}{2}, \frac{\beta+4}{2}\right)\). Since, point \(B\) lies on the line…
