The solution by @MathLover1 is NOT PRECISELY CORRECT.
Therefore, I came to bring a VALID solution.
The differences (where @Mathlover1 made mistakes) are shown in my post below.
The given ellipse has the center at the point (-1,1).
Its major semi-axis is horizontal and have a length 2 = .
Its minor semi-axis is verical and has a length of 1 = .
Now, when you reflect the given ellipse in the line y = -x+12, then, OBVIOUSLY,
the major semi-axis of the reflected ellipse will be VERTICAL of the length 2, and <<<---=== Notice the difference with @MathLover1 (!)
the minor semi-axis of the reflected ellipse will be HORIZONTAL of the length 1. <<<---=== Notice the difference with @MathLover1 (!)
Now let's find the coordinates of the CENTER of the reflected ellipse.
The given line is y = -x + 12, or x + y = 12.
Hence, the perpendicular to this line has, OBVIOUSLY, the form -x + y = c, where "c" is a constant.
We will find the constant "c", using the condition that the center of the given ellipse (-1,1) lies at the perpendicular line.
-(-1) + 1 = 2 gives the value of "c" as 2; therefore, the equation of the perpendicular line is -x + y = 2, or y = x+2.
The given line y = -x+12 intersect the "mirror" line y = x+2 at the point x= 5, y= 7.
The point (5,7) is mid-point between the center to (-1,1) and the new center of the reflected ellipse (x,y) on the other side of the given line.
So, the center of the reflected ellipse is the point (11,13). <<<---=== Notice the difference with @MathLover1 (!)
Thus the equation for the reflected ellipse is
+ = 1. <<<---=== Notice the difference with @MathLover1
And, finally, the plot
Solved.
