Detailed Solution

 Clearly, points P(cosθ,sinθ) and Q(cos(αθ)sin(αθ) ) lie on circle of unit radius. 

Question Image

 In the figure, POX=θ and QOX=αθ . 

 QOP=α2θ Now, ΔQOP is isosceles. 

Therefore, altitude or angle bisector OM is perpendicular bisector of PQ. 

MOP=α2θ2=α2θMOX=θ+α2θ=α2

Thus, point P is reflection of point Q inline OM having slope, tan α2
