6 The matrix \(\mathbf { A }\) is given by \(\mathbf { A } = \frac { 1 } { 13 } \left( \begin{array} { r r } 5 & 12
12 & - 5 \end{array} \right)\). You are given that \(\mathbf { A }\) represents the transformation T which is a reflection in a certain straight line. You are also given that this straight line, the mirror line, passes through the origin, \(O\).

1. Explain why there must be a line of invariant points for T . State the geometric significance of this line.
2. By considering the line of invariant points for T , determine the equation of the mirror line. Give your answer in the form \(y = m x + c\). The coordinates of the point \(P\) are \(( 1,5 )\).
3. By considering the image of \(P\) under the transformation T , or otherwise, determine the coordinates of the point on the mirror line which is closest to \(P\).
4. The line with equation \(y = a x + 2\) is an invariant line for T. Determine the value of \(a\).
