The perpendicular distance of a line from the origin is 5 units and its slope is -1. Find the equation of the line.

Answer» Correct Answer - `x+y+5sqrt2=0 or x+y=5sqrt2=0`
Let the required equation be y=-x+c
`therefore (|0+0-c|)/(sqrt(1^(2)+1^(2)))=5 Rightarrow |c| =5sqrt2 Rightarrow c=5sqrt2 or c=-5sqrt2`
