Find the coordinates of the image of the point (1, 3, 4) in the plane 2x – y +z + 3 = 0.


The equation of plane is
2x – y + z + 3 = 0    ...(1)
Direction ratios of normal to the plane are 2,–1, 1.
Let M be foot of perpendicular from P(l, 3, 4) to the plane.
Now PM is a straight line which passes through P( 1. 3. 4) and has direction ratios as 2, – 1, 1
∴ its equation is

fraction numerator straight x minus 1 over denominator 2 end fraction space equals fraction numerator straight y minus 3 over denominator negative 1 end fraction space equals space fraction numerator straight z minus 4 over denominator 1 end fraction space equals straight r space left parenthesis say right parenthesis
Any point M on line is (2 r + 1, – r + 3, r + 4)
∴  M lies on plane (1)
∴ 2 (2 r + 1) – (– r + 3) + (r + 4) + 3 = 0
∴ 4r + 2 + r – 3 + r + 4 + 3 = 0.
∴  6r = –6 ⇒ r = –1
∴ M is (– 2 + 1, 1 + 3, – 1 + 4) i.e. (–1,4, 3)
Let N (α, β,γ) be image of P in the plane (1) so that M is mid-point of PN.
therefore space space space space space space space space space space space fraction numerator 1 plus straight alpha over denominator 2 end fraction space equals space minus 1 comma space space space space space space space space space fraction numerator 3 plus straight beta over denominator 2 end fraction space equals space 4 comma space space space space fraction numerator 4 plus straight gamma over denominator 2 end fraction space equals space 3
therefore space space space space space space space space space space space space space space 1 plus straight alpha space equals space minus 2 comma space space space space space 3 space plus space straight beta space equals space 8 comma space space space space 4 space plus straight gamma space equals space 6
therefore space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space space straight alpha space equals space minus 3 comma space space space straight beta space equals space 5 comma space space space straight gamma space equals space 2
therefore space space space space space space space image space is space left parenthesis negative 3 comma space 5 comma space 2 right parenthesis.
