Question

Find the equation of a straight line cutting off an intercept $-1$ from $y-$axis and being equally inclined to the axes.

Answer 1

Find the equation of line cutting offer n

Intercept:- $-1$ from the y-axis & equally inclined to the axes.

$\to$ As slope and y intercept are given

$y=mx+c$

$c=-1$

$m=\tan {45}^o=1$ for equally inclined

So, equation is

$y=x-1$.
