Coordinate Geometry

What is the slope of line p?

1. x intercept is twice the y intercept
2. The line passes through the I and III quadrant

I solved this one and got the ans as C..but I am not sure about it...Can someone help me on this one?

Slope of a line has two componest namely the magnitude and sign(+ve or -ve)

condition 1 gives us the magnitude and condition 2 provides the sign

hence neither of the statement alone is sufficient but both togather is sufficient.

IMO ans is C
