Differential Equations

Question:

The differential equation of all non-vertical lines in a plane is :

Options:

$\frac{d y}{d x}=0$

$\frac{d x}{d y}=0$

$\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=0$

$\frac{d^2 x}{d y^2}=0$

Correct Answer:

$\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=0$

Explanation:

The general equation of non-vertical lines in a plane is $a x+b y=1, b \neq 0$

$\Rightarrow a+b \frac{d y}{d x}=0 \Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=-\frac{a}{b} \Rightarrow \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=0$

Hence (3) is the correct answer.
