Solution

The correct option is C x – y = 0
The equation of a line with slope m and passing through the point $(x_{1}, y_{1})$ is given by
$y - y_{1} = m \times (x - x_{1})$

Given, slope of the line is 1 and it passes through origin i.e., (0, 0).
$\Rightarrow y - 0 = 1 \times (x - 0)$
Therefore the equation of the line will be $y = x o r y - x = 0$
