Find the image of the point `(4,-13)`in the line `5x+y+6=0.`A. (1,-14)B. (6,-15)C. (-1,-14)D. none of these

Answer» Correct Answer - C
Let `Q(x_(1),y_(1))` be the image of the point P(4,-13) in the line mirror `5x+y+6=0` . Then, the coordinates of Q are given by
`(x_(1)-4)/(5)=(y_(1)+13)/(1)=(-2(5xx4-13+6))/(5^(2)+1^(2))`
`implies (x_(1)-4)/(5)=(y_(1)-13)/(1)=1`
`implies x_(1)-4=-5 and y_(1)+13=-1`
`implies x_(1)=-1 and y_(1)=-14`
Hence, the image of the point P(4,-13) in the line mirror `5x+y+6=0` is (-1,-14).
