Question

select the correct answer from each drop - down menu.
a ray of light is reflected from a mirror such that the reflected ray is perpendicular to the original ray, as shown in the diagram. the equation of the reflected ray is (y + x = 6). the point (\boldsymbol{checkmark}) does not lie on the reflected ray.
options: ((2, 4)) ((4, 2)) ((8, - 2)) ((-2, - 8))

Explanation:

Step1: Verify point (2,4)

Substitute $x=2, y=4$ into $y+x=6$:
$4+2=6$, which holds true.

Step2: Verify point (4,2)

Substitute $x=4, y=2$ into $y+x=6$:
$2+4=6$, which holds true.

Step3: Verify point (8,-2)

Substitute $x=8, y=-2$ into $y+x=6$:
$-2+8=6$, which holds true.

Step4: Verify point (-2,-8)

Substitute $x=-2, y=-8$ into $y+x=6$:
$-8+(-2)=-10
eq6$, which is false.

Answer:

(-2, -8)
