Detailed Solution
Let θ be the angle which the ray 2x−3y+5 ⊨0makes with the line x+y=2 then θ=2/3+11−2/3(1) =|5|=5 Reffected ray makes angle −θ with x+y=2 so if the slopeof the reflected ray is m then m+11−m=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 lineHence equation of the reflected ray is(y−9/5)=3/2(x−1/5)⇒3x−2y+3=0
