Step-by-step explanation:

There are some conventions while solving the problems based on mirrors. All parameters are taken like x-y coordinate system.

All the measurements are done from the optical centre of the mirror.


d_i is the image distance


d_o is the object distance


-d_i is the image distance which is formed behind the mirror.


-d_o is the object distance when an object is placed behind the mirror.

So,
-d_i shows the image that is located behind the mirror. Hence, this is the required solution.
