Question
A ray of light passing through the point $A(1,2)$ is reflected at a point $B$ on the $x$-axis and then passes through $(5,3)$. Then the equation of $AB$ is :
Options
A.$5x + 4y = 13$
B.$5x - 4y = - 3$
C.$4x + 5y = 14$
D.$4x - 5y = - 6$
Solution
Sol. [Key Concept: Reflection: the image of $A$ in the $x$-axis is collinear with $B$, giving the equation of $AB$.]
Reflection of $C$ with $x$-axis $\equiv (5, - 3)$ Equation of $AB$ is $y - 2 = \frac{5}{- 4}(x - 1)$
$$5x + 4y = 13$$
