There can be many ways, but as always, I'll go with the intuitive one.
Let's do some algebra,
x2−y2=0x2−y2=0
⟹x2=y2⟹x2=y2
⟹x=±⟹x=± yy
Or y=xy=x and y=−xy=−x are the two lines depicted by this conic.
We are familiar that they both are inclined at 45°45° with the axes, but on opposite sides, which also means that their slopes are equal but opposite in sign parity, which can be confirmed from the equations too.
Therefore, 45°+45°=90°45°+45°=90°
Or, because the product of the slopes is −1−1, therefore the lines are perpendicular to each other at the origin.
