Statement 1: if the tangent at any point is equally Inclined to both the axes then dy/dx=(+or -) 1 Statement:2 : if the tangent at any point makes an equal intercept on the coordinate axes then dy/dx =-1 Are these two statements correct ?? If yes , then my doubt is that if a line is given and it is equally inclined to the axes then it will also make equal intercepts with the axes. Then both the statements will be true simultaneously. Then what will be the slope of the line--( +or - 1) or - 1

intercept can be negative so its possible that x intercept is 1 and y is -1 in that case
m=-1
