Differential Equations

Question:

The differential equation of the family of lines through the origin is :

Options:

$x\frac{dy}{dx}- y = 0 $

$x\frac{dy}{dx}+ y = 0 $

$y-x\frac{dx}{dy}=0$

$y+x\frac{dx}{dy}=0$

Correct Answer:

$x\frac{dy}{dx}- y = 0 $

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (1) → $x\frac{dy}{dx}- y = 0$

family of lines passing through O,

$⇒y=mx$

differentiating w.r.t.(x)

$\frac{dy}{dx}=m$

so $\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{y}{x}⇒x\frac{dy}{dx}- y = 0 $
