Answer

Given,

Equations :

⇒ x - y = 3 ……..(1)

⇒ x + y = 0 ……..(2)

Adding equation (1) and (2), we get :

⇒ (x - y) + (x + y) = 3 + 0

⇒ x + x - y + y = 3

⇒ 2x = 3

⇒ x = 32\dfrac{3}{2}

Substituting value of x in equation (2), we get :

32\dfrac{3}{2} + y = 0

⇒ y = 32-\dfrac{3}{2}.

∴ Point of intersection of lines x - y = 3 and x + y = 0 is (32,32)\Big(\dfrac{3}{2}, -\dfrac{3}{2}\Big).

Given,

Inclination (θ) = 45°

Slope = tan 45° = 1.

By point-slope form,

Equation of line : y - y1 = m(x - x1)

Equation of line passing through (32,32)\Big(\dfrac{3}{2}, -\dfrac{3}{2}\Big) and slope = 1 is :

y(32)=1(x32)y+32=x32xy=32+32xy=62xy=3.\Rightarrow y - \Big(-\dfrac{3}{2}\Big) = 1\Big(x - \dfrac{3}{2}\Big) \\[1em] \Rightarrow y + \dfrac{3}{2} = x - \dfrac{3}{2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x - y = \dfrac{3}{2} + \dfrac{3}{2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x - y = \dfrac{6}{2} \\[1em] \Rightarrow x - y = 3.

Hence, Option 2 is the correct option.
