Hi Sarthak,

 

This would be the shortest way:

 

Find the point of intersection, say A, of the two lines. Then take a point on the line, whose reflection you need to get (say that point is B). Now find the reflection of B in the other line. Say that point is B"

Now find the equation of the line joining A and B" and that would be the equation of the reflected line.

 

Hope that helps.

 

All the best.
