  1. What is the equation of the line whose y-intercept is (–3/4) and making an angle of 45° with the positive x–axis?
    1. 4x – 4y = 3
    2. 4x – 4y = –3
    3. 3x – 3y = 4
    4. 3x – 3y = –4
Correct Option: A


Slope of straight line = m = tanq = tan45° = 1

Intercept on Y–axis = c =
- 3
4

∴ The required equation is : y = mx + c
⇒ y = 1.x –
3
4

⇒ 4y = 4x – 3
⇒ 4x – 4y = 3
