Detailed Solution
Clearly, points P(cosθ,sinθ) and Q(cos(α−θ)sin(α−θ) ) lie on circle of unit radius. In the figure, ∠POX=θ and ∠QOX=α−θ . ∴ ∠QOP=α−2θ Now, ΔQOP is isosceles. Therefore, altitude or angle bisector OM is perpendicular bisector of PQ. ∠MOP=α−2θ2=α2−θ∠MOX=θ+α2−θ=α2Thus, point P is reflection of point Q inline OM having slope, tan α2
