उत्तर
Let the image of A (2, 1) be B (5, 2). Also, let M be the midpoint of AB.
\[\therefore \text { Coordinates of } M = \left( \frac{2 + 5}{2}, \frac{1 + 2}{2} \right)\]
\[ = \left( \frac{7}{2}, \frac{3}{2} \right)\]
Let CD be the mirror.
Line AB is perpendicular to the mirror CD.
\[\therefore\] Slope of AB \[\times\] Slope of CD = −1
\[\Rightarrow \frac{2 - 1}{5 - 2} \times \text { Slope of CD } = - 1\]
\[ \Rightarrow \text { Slope of CD }= - 3\]
Equation of the mirror CD:
\[y - \frac{3}{2} = - 3\left( x - \frac{7}{2} \right)\]
\[ \Rightarrow 2y - 3 = - 6x + 21\]
\[ \Rightarrow 6x + 2y - 24 = 0\]
\[ \Rightarrow 3x + y - 12 = 0\]
