Question

The image of point (−1, 3, 4) in the plane x2y=0x − 2y = 0​ is:

A.

​​​(173,193,4)\left( -\frac{17}{3}, -\frac{19}{3}, 4 \right)​​

B.

​​​(15,11,4) (15, 11, 4)​​

C.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​(173,193,1) \left( -\frac{17}{3}, -\frac{19}{3}, 1 \right)​​

D.

​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​(95,135,4) \left( \frac{9}{5}, -\frac{13}{5}, 4 \right)​​

Correct option is D

Given:
Point P=(x1,y1,z1)=(1,3,4)P = (x_1, y_1, z_1) = (−1, 3, 4)​​
Plane: x2y=0x − 2y = 0​​
Formula used:
For reflection of a point (x1,y1,z1)(x_1, y_1, z_1)​ in plane ax+by+cz+d=0,ax + by + cz + d = 0,​​
the image point (x', y', z') is given by
x=x12a(ax1+by1+cz1+d)a2+b2+c2y=y12b(ax1+by1+cz1+d)a2+b2+c2z=z12c(ax1+by1+cz1+d)a2+b2+c2x' = x_1 − \frac{2a(ax_1 + by_1 + cz_1 + d)}{a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2}}\\y' = y_1 − \frac{2b(ax_1 + by_1 + cz_1 + d)}{a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2}}\\z' = z_1 − \frac{2c(ax_1 + by_1 + cz_1 + d)}{a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2}}​​
Solution:
Here a = 1, b = −2, c = 0, d = 0
Compute:​
ax1+by1+cz1+d=(1)(1)+(2)(3)+0=16=7a2+b2+c2=1+4+0=5ax_1 + by_1 + cz_1 + d\\= (1)(−1) + (−2)(3) + 0\\= −1 − 6\\= −7\\a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2}= 1 + 4 + 0= 5​​
x=12(1)(7)5=1+145=95y=32(2)(7)5=3285=135z=4x' = −1 − \frac{2(1)(−7)}{5}= −1 + \frac{14}{5}= \frac{9}{5}\\[3pt]y' = 3 − \frac{2(−2)(−7)}{5}= 3 − \frac{28}{5}= −\frac{13}{5}\\[3pt]z' = 4​​
So the image point is:
(95,135,4)\left( \frac{9}{5}, -\frac{13}{5}, 4 \right)​​
The correct answer is (d) (95,135,4). \left( \frac{9}{5}, -\frac{13}{5}, 4 \right).​​
