Slope of a line which cuts off intercept...

Slope of a line which cuts off intercepts of equal lengths on the axes is

A

`-1`

B

`0`

C

`2`

D

`sqrt(3)`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Let equation of line be `(x)/(a)+(y)/(a)=1`
`rArrx+y=a`
`rArry=-x+a`
`therefore` Required slope `=-1`
