The differential equation of all non-vertical lines in a plane, is
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The general equation of all non-vertical lines in a plane is $a x+b y=1$, where $b \neq 0$.
Now,
$a x+b y=1$
$\Rightarrow a+b \frac{d y}{d x}=0$ [Differentiating w.r. to x]
$\Rightarrow b \frac{d^2 y}{d x}=0$ [Differentiating w.r. to x]
$\Rightarrow \frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=0$ [∵ b ≠ 0]
Hence, the differential equation is $\frac{d^2 y}{d x^2}=0$
