As we learnt in 

Image of a point -

Let L' be the image of point P\left ( \alpha ,\beta ,\gamma \right ) in the plane ax+by+cz+d=0

L' will be given by the formula 

\frac{x-\alpha }{a}=\frac{y-\beta }{b}=\frac{z-\gamma }{c}= \frac{-2\left ( a\alpha +b\beta +c\gamma +d \right )}{a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}}

-

 

 To find image we take

\frac{x+1}{1}=\frac{y-3}{-2}=\frac{z-4}{0}=\frac{-2\left ( -1-6 \right )}{5}

x=\frac{9}{5} ;\, \, y=\frac{-13}{5}; \, \, z=4


Option 1)

\left ( -\frac{17}{3},-\frac{19}{3},4 \right )\;
