Since the line must bisect quads II and IV, absolute value will be needed (ie the value of X will always be negative)

Therefore the equation will be -|x| = y

You need a line that travels through those quadrants, making a 45 degree angle with the axes. The only one that qualifies is y = -x.

-x is the only line that works
