Geometry Difficulty 2.0 Junior Find the answer Canada

The points (5,3)(5, 3) and (1,1)(1, -1) are plotted on a sheet of graph paper. The sheet of graph paper is folded along a line so that the point (5,3)(5, 3) lands on top of the point (1,1)(1, -1). The equation of the line that represents the fold is

(A) y=x+1y = -x + 1 (B) y=x+2y = -x + 2 (C) y=x+3y = -x + 3 (D) y=x+4y = -x + 4 (E) y=x+5y = -x + 5
