JEE Main 2014 · 6 Apr · Shift 1, Mathematics question 83

The image of the line x−13=y−31=z−4−5\dfrac{x-1}{3}=\dfrac{y-3}{1}=\dfrac{z-4}{-5} in the plane 2x−y+z+3=02x-y+z+3=0 is the line :

Choose one option
Answer and worked solution

Official answer: C

The line's direction (3,1,−5)(3,1,-5) is perpendicular to the plane's normal (2,−1,1)(2,-1,1), since 6−1−5=06-1-5=0. So the line is parallel to the plane and its image has the same direction.

Reflect (1,3,4)(1,3,4): 2−3+4+3=62-3+4+3=6, so the image is (1,3,4)−2⋅66(2,−1,1)=(−3,5,2)(1,3,4)-\frac{2\cdot6}{6}(2,-1,1)=(-3,5,2). The image line is
x+33=y−51=z−2−5.\frac{x+3}3=\frac{y-5}1=\frac{z-2}{-5}.
