Question

find the equation of the line cutting off an intercept 5from the y axis and equally inclined to the axes.

Answer 1

Answer:

y = x  + 5

Explanation:

In this question, slope and y-intercept is given.

Equally inclined to the axis means both angles are equal in the triangle and one right angle

So, equal angle must be 45°.

Slope (m) = tan45° = 1

m = 1

y-intercept (b) = 5

We know the slope intercept form of line.

y = mx  + b

Put the value of m & b in this equation

y = 1*x + 5

y = x + 5

Equation of line:

y= x + 5
