Let, coordinate of point A' is (x,y).
Since, A' is the symmetric point A(3, 2) with respect to the line 2x + y - 12 = 0.
So, slope of line containing A and A' will be perpendicular to the line 2x + y - 12 = 0 and also their center lies in the line too.
Now, their center is given by :
Also, product of slope will be -1 .( Since, they are parallel )
x = 2y - 1
So,
Also, C satisfy given line :
Also,
Therefore, the symmetric points is .
Solution:
Given that the point P lies 1/3 along the segment RS as shown below:
To find the y coordinate of the point P, since the point P lies on 1/3 along the segment RS, we have
Using the section formula expressed as
In this case,
where
Thus, by substitution, we have
Hence, the y-coordinate of the point P is
