Straight Line and Pair of Straight Lines 1 Question 39

39. The point (4,1) undergoes the following three transformations successively

I. Reflection about the line y=x.

II. Transformation through a distance 2 units along the positive direction of X-axis.

III. Rotation through an angle π4 about the origin in the counter clockwise direction.

Then, the final position of the point is given by the coordinates

(1980, 1M)

(a) 12,72

(b) (2,72)

(c) 12,72

(d) (2,72)

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. Let B,C,D be the position of the point A(4,1) after the three operations I, II and III, respectively. Then, B is (1,4),C(1+2,4) i.e. (3,4). The point D is obtained from C by rotating the coordinate axes through an angle π/4 in anti-clockwise direction.

Therefore, the coordinates of D are given by

X=3cosπ44sinπ4=12 and Y=3sinπ4+4cosπ4=72

Coordinates of D are 12,72.
