Distinct lines \ell and mm lie in the xyxy -plane. They intersect at the origin. Point P(1,4)P(-1, 4) is reflected about line \ell to point PP' , and then PP' is reflected about line mm to point PP'' . The equation of line \ell is 5xy=05x - y = 0 , and the coordinates of PP'' are (4,1)(4,1) . What is the equation of line m?m?
