Description: ABCD is a rhombus with the diagonals AC and BD intersection at the origin on the x-y plane. The equation of the straight line AD is x + y = 1. What is the equation of BC?

Solution

The line should be parallel to AD and should be of equal distance from the origin in the third quadrant. The equation x+y = -1 satisfies all these conditions.
