The equation of a line which makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with each of the pair of lines $x y-x-y+1=0$ is

The equation of a line which makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with each of the pair of lines $x y-x-y+1=0$ is
  1. $x-y=5$
  2. $2 x+y=3$
  3. $x+7 y=8$
  4. $3 x-y=2$

Solution

Given pair of lines : $x y-x-y+1=0$ $\Rightarrow x(y-1)-1(y-1)=0 \Rightarrow(x-1)(y-1)=0$ lines are $x-1=0$ and $y-1=0$ Let required line be $y=m x+\mathrm{c}$ Now, angle between $y-1=0$ and $y=m x+c$ is $45^{\circ}$ $\Rightarrow \tan 45^{\circ}=\left|\frac{m-0}{1+0}\right| \Rightarrow m=1$
So, all the lines parallel to $y=x+c$ makes $45^{\circ}$ with the given pair of lines So, according to option $x-y=5$ is correct.
