Step 1
Let the coordinate of the moving point be (α, β) and origine (0, 0)
Then slope of the line joining this two point (α, β) (0, 0) is
m1=β0α0=βα
and the slope of the line joining the point (3, -2) and (5, 7) is
m2=7(2)53=92
Now given that the above two lins whose slope are m1, m2 makes an angle 45
Then by angle between two lines formula
tan45=|m1m21+m1m2|
I=|m1m21+m1m2|
When we remove moduls it will give + and -, (Taking + for actuale angle 45)
When + Then 1=m1m21+m1m2
1+m1m2=m1m2
1+βα×92=βα92
2α+9β=2β9α
11α+7β=0
sins (α, β) is arbitry
locus of the point will be
11x+7y=0

Step 1
Then, according to the formula for the angle between two lines
tan45=|m1m21+m1m2|
I=|m1m21+m1m2|
If we remove modules, there will be + and -
Then 1=m1m21+m1m2
1+m1m2=m1m2
1+βα×92=βα92
2α+9β2β9α
11α+7β=0
The locus of the point will be
11x+7y=0
