The equation of a straight line equally inclined to the axes and equidistant from the points

(1,-2)

and

(3,4)

View answer and explanation

Correct option: C

x-y-1=0

Option C (

x-y-1=0

) is correct because it represents a line equally inclined to the axes and equidistant from the given points, which is found by solving for the constant term in the line equation.
