Correct answer: D
-
Interpretation of “image of a point in a line”
The image of point in the given line means the reflection of about that line. -
Write the line in parametric form
-1+3t, 2+5t).$$ The direction vector of the line is $$\vec d=(2,3,5).$$
Given so a general point on the line is -
Find the foot of perpendicular from to the line
Let be the foot of perpendicular from to the line. Then Since is perpendicular to the line direction vector,Now,
So,
-
Coordinates of the foot
-1+3\cdot\frac32, 2+5\cdot\frac32\right) =(4,\tfrac72,\tfrac{19}{2}).$$
Substitute : -
Use midpoint property of reflection
If is reflected in the line to , then the foot is the midpoint of . HenceTherefore,
So,
-
Compute the required sum
-
Check options
The correct option is: which is Option D.
