MCQ
A line cuts off equal intercepts on the co-ordinate axes. The angle made by this line with the positive direction of X-axis is
  • A
    $90^{\circ}$
  • $135^{\circ}$
  • C
    $45^{\circ}$
  • D
    $120^{\circ}$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$135^{\circ}$
(B)
Let the equation of line be $\frac{x}{ a }+\frac{y}{ a }=1$
$\Rightarrow x+y= a \Rightarrow y=-x+ a$
Comparing with $y= m x+ c$, we get
$m =-1$
$\Rightarrow \tan \theta=-1 \Rightarrow \theta=135^{\circ}$
