Let p be the given point (3, 7) and the coordinates of A be (x, 0) so, if the ray PA makes an angle θ with the positive direction of x-axis, the reflected ray AQ , where Q is (2, 5), will make the same angle q with the negative direction of x-axis. So the slope of PA =  (the slope of QA)
 73x=52x 7(2x)+5(3x)=0 x=2912

    coordinates of A are 2912,0.
