Q89.Consider a line L passing through the points P(1, 2, 1) and Q(2, 1, −1). If the mirror image of the point A(2, 2, 2) in the line L is (α, β, γ), then α + β + 6γ is equal to _______

What This Question Tests

This question tests the ability to find the mirror image of a point with respect to a line in 3D space, which involves finding the foot of the perpendicular and using the midpoint formula.

Concepts Tested

Equation of a line in 3DDirection ratios and direction cosinesFoot of the perpendicular from a point to a lineMidpoint formula

Formulas Used

Line equation: (x-x₁)/a = (y-y₁)/b = (z-z₁)/c = λ

Dot product for perpendicularity: a₁a₂ + b₁b₂ + c₁c₂ = 0

Midpoint formula: ((x₁+x₂)/2, (y₁+y₂)/2, (z₁+z₂)/2)
