The equation of straight line equally inclined to the axes and equidistant from the points and is where:
Determine the equation of the line :
The required line is equally inclined to the axes. It means that the slope of the line is
It will make an equal angle with and .
The required line is equidistant from and It means that the required line passes through the midpoint of the line joining the two given points.
midpoint of the given points:
Therefore, the line passes through the point and has slope .
Now, the equation of the required line is:
Comparing this equation with we get:
Hence, the correct answer is Option (B).
