Detailed Solution

Let θ  be the angle which the ray  2x3y+5 0

makes with the line x+y=2  then  θ=2/3+112/3(1) 

=|5|=5  

Reffected ray makes angle θ  with x+y=2 so if the slope

of the reflected ray is m then m+11m=tan(θ)=5

                m=3/2

Also, the reflected ray passes through  (1/5,9/5) the point of 

intersection of the ray and the line
Hence equation of the reflected ray is

(y9/5)=3/2(x1/5)3x2y+3=0
