Answer :
Given: perpendicular distance from orgin is 5 units, and the slope is -1
To find : the equation of the line
Formula used :
We know that the perpendicular distance from a point (x0,y0) to the line ax + by + c = 0 is given by
The equation of a straight line is given by y=mx+c where m denotes the slope of the line.
The equation of the line is mx – y + c =0
Here x0 = 0 and y0= 0 , a = m , b = -y , c = c and D=5 units
D
Slope of the line = m = -1 ,Substituting in the above equation we get,
Thus the equation of the straight line is y = x + 5
or x + y - 5
= 0
