Since B ( m , n ) is the reflection of the point A ( 1 0 , 9 ) across the line l , 4 x − 3 y = 1 2 :
1.) The midpoint of line segment A B lies on line l
2.) Line joining A and B is perpendicular to line l
The midpoint of line segment A B satisfies the equation of line l M = ( 2 1 0 + m , 2 9 + n ) ⟹ 4 ( 2 1 0 + m ) − 3 ( 2 9 + n ) + 1 2 = 0 ⟹ 4 m − 3 n + 3 7 = 0 The product of the slope of line A B and the slope of l is − 1 m − 1 0 n − 9 ⋅ 3 4 = − 1 ⟹ 3 m + 4 n − 6 6 = 0 Solving the system of equations, { 4 m − 3 n + 3 7 = 0 3 m + 4 n − 6 6 = 0 we get, m = 2 and n = 1 5 . Therefore, n + ( n × m ) − m = 4 3
