A 45-degree line has several defining characteristics: any point on it is equidistant from the two axes, which means if you draw a horizontal and a vertical line from any point on the 45-degree line to the axes, those two lines will be of equal length. It bisects a right angle because a 45-degree angle is half of 90 degrees. The slope of the line is 1 because for every unit you move horizontally, you move one unit vertically, making the rise over run equal to 1. Therefore, all three statements A, B, and C are correct.
