    The equation of line passes through the point (1,2) and perpendicular to the line\[x+y+1=0,\]is

    A)  \[y-x+1=0\]     

    B)  \[y-x+2=0\]

    C)  \[y-x-1=0\]     

    D)  \[y-x-2=0\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     The equation of line perpendicular   to \[x+y+1=0\]is\[x-y+\lambda =0\] Since, it passes through the point (1, 2). \[\therefore \] \[1-2+\lambda =0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[-1+\lambda =0\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\lambda =1\] Hence, equation of perpendicular line is \[x-y+1=0\] or          \[y-x-1=0\]
