Chord makes 900 at the centre (0,0) 

Homogenise the circle equation with the line y-mx=1 and then sum of the coefficients of x2 and y2 must be equal to zero

It implies that 

x2+y2=y-mx2x2+y2=m2x2+y2-2mxyx21-m2+2mxy=0

The above equaiton represent pair of lines passing through the origin and the end points of the chord

Since the angle between the above two lines is right angles

1-m2+0=0m2=1m=±1
