Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

  • Equation of the line passing through (3, 8) and perpendicular to $ x+3y-7=0 $ is $ 3x-y-1=0 $ . The intersection point of both the lines is (1, 2). Now let the image of $ A(3,8) $ be $ {A}’(x_1,y_1), $ then point (1, 2) will be the midpoint of $ A{A}’ $ .
    Þ $ \frac{x_1+3}{2}=1\Rightarrow x_1=-1 $ and $ \frac{y_1+8}{2}=2 $ Þ $ y_1=-4 $ . Hence the image is (?1, ?4).
