Find the image of the point (2, -1, 5) in the line
Find the image of the point
in the line
Answer
Given: Point 
Equation of line 
The equation of line can be re-arranged as 
The general point on this line is
Let
be the foot of the perpendicular drawn from the point
on the given line. Then, this point is
for some fixed value of
.
D.r.’s of PN are 
D.r.’s of the given line is 
Since, PN is perpendicular to the given line, we have,
Then, the image of the point is
Therefore, the image is
.
