I. Reflection of (4,1) about line y = x i.e. x – y = 0 is its image about that line.
Let the image be (x1,y1).
So, (x1 – 4)/1 = (y1 – 1)/(-1) = –2(1.4 + (-1).1)/12 + (-1)2

x1 – 4 = – (y1 – 1) = – 3
x1 = – 3 + 4 = 1 & y1 = 3 + 1 = 4 [Note that coordinates of image are interchanged on reflection about y = x.
You can remember this as a result.]
II. The point (1,4) is shifted by 2 units towards +ve x-axis.
New coordinates are (3,4).
III. Distance between (3,4) and origin is r = 5 units and slope of line through (3,4) and origin is 4/3.
It is rotated through an angle

/4 about origin in anti-clockwise direction.
Let the new slope of line be m or tan

.
Using tan

= |(m1 – m2)/(1 + m1m2)|, we get
tan

/4 = (m – 4/3)/(1 + 4m/3)

1 = (3m – 4)/(3 + 4m)
3m – 4 = 3 + 4m
m = – 7 = tan
….(1)
We infer from the sign of m that the required point lies in second quadrant
i.e. sin

> 0 & cos
From (1), sin

= 7/

= 7/

= 7/5

So, the required point is (rcos

,rsin

)

(5.(-1)/5

, 5.7/5

(–1/
, 7/
