The equation of a straight line cutting off a intercept -1 from

y

- axis and being equally inclined to the axes, is -

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

y-x-1

Option A (

y-x-1

) is correct because a line equally inclined to the axes has a slope of 1 or -1, and with a y-intercept of -1, the equation is y = x - 1, which rearranges to y - x - 1 = 0.
