Answer
Let AB be the line not passing through the origin and intersecting x-axis at D and y-axis at E.
We know that,
y-coordinate = 0 at x axis and x-coordinate = 0 at y-axis.
Let D = (a, 0) and E = (0, b).
By formula,
Slope =
From figure,

Slope of DE = Slope of AB = 1
Substituting values we get :
From figure,
a and b are intercepts on x-axis and y-axis respectively.
Hence, Option 3 is the correct option.
