 Equation of the line passing through the point (5,4) and making an angle 45 with  negative direction of x - axis is 

a
x−y−9=0
b
2x−y−9=0
c
x+y−15=0
d
x+y−9=0

detailed solution

Correct option is D

Equation of line passing through the point x1,y1 and having slope m is y−y1=mx−x1 Here m=tan⁡θ, where θ is angle made by the line with x - axis in the positive direction.  Since the line making an angle 45∘ with negative direction of x - axis, the angle made by the  line with positive direction of x− axis is 180∘−45∘=135∘ Hence the slope of the line is m=tan⁡135∘=−1 The equation of the line passing through the point (5,4) and having slope −1 is y−4=−(x−5)y−4=−x+5x+y−9=0 Therefore, the equation of the line is x+y−9=0
