Question:

Solution of the differential equation $x d y-y d x=0$ represents

Options:

a rectangular hyperbola

a straight line passing through the origin

parabola whose vertex is at the origin

circle whose centre is at the origin

Correct Answer:

a straight line passing through the origin

Explanation:

$xdy-ydx=0$

so $\frac{xdy-ydx}{x^2}=0$

so $\int d(\frac{y}{x})=\int 0dx$

so $\frac{y}{x}=C$

so $y=Cx$
