to find P
find reflection of A on Xaxis, A' = (2,-3)
join A'B..... equation of line passing through A', B
P is the x intercept on xaxis =(3.71,0)

Step-by-step explanation:
- So we have the x and y axis and a ray is incident on the x axis at a point m through a point (2,3) and is refracted by the point (6,4) and this point is P. Now we have the image of incident ray appearing on the y axis which will be (2,-3). Let this point be Q. So we have the coordinates of P and Q.
- So the equation of line PQ will be
- So y – y1/ x – x1 = y2 – y1 / x2 – x1
- So y + 3 / x - 2 = 4 + 3 / 6 – 2
- Or y + 3 = 7 / 4 (x – 2)
- simplifying we get 4y + 12 = 7x – 14
- 7x – 4y = 26
- Now coordinate of y axis is zero, so putting y = 0 in the above equation we get
- 7x = 26
- Or x = 26/7
- So the coordinates of m is (x,0) and so x = 26/7
- So we get coordinates as m(26/7,0)
