Question 940085: A ray of light passing through the pont (1,2) reflects on the x axis at point A and the reflected ray
passes through the point (5,3) find the corrdinates of A. Answer by Fombitz(32388) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The angle each ray makes with the x-axis is the same so you can build two triangles.
The tangent of the common angles is given by the y-coordinate divide by the x-coordinate.
Let the coordinates of A be (x,0).
A:(,)
