The point of the form (a, – a) always lies on the line

In the point (a, – a) we have x coordinate as a , y coordinate as ( – a)


Hence we get


Taking y to the left hand side, we get


x + y = 0


A. Point on line x = a is of the form (a, y)


B. Point on line y = a is of the form (x, a)


C. Point on line x = y is of the form (a, a)


D. Point on line x + y = 0 is of the form (a, – a)


Hence D is the correct option.
