The correct answer is: -42

Slope of line =m

Slope of x+y-3=0 is -1

Now, tanθ=m1-m21+m1m2

57=m+11-m

51-m=±7m+1

5-5m=±7m+7

Taking positive sign

5-5m=7m+7

m=-16

Taking negative sign

5-5m=-7m-7

m=-6

Equation of line passing through 1,1

I m=-6

y-1=-6x-1

6x+y-7=0

So, a=6c=-7

ac=-42

II m=-16

y-1=-16x-1

6y-6=-x+1

x6+y-76=0

So, a=16c=-76

ac=-736
