Detailed Solution

The line x+y=1 meets the coordinate axes at P(1, 0), Q(0, 1) 

P and S are on y-axis ,Q and R are on x-axis

Then the point of intersection is origin ( given they are perpendicular)

hence P and Q become the ends of diameter (angle in a semi circle is right angle)

(x1)(x0)+(y0)(y1)=0

x2+y2xy=0
