Question:

The solution of the differential equation xdy - ydx = 0 represent family of

Options:

Circles passing through origin

Straight line parsing through (-1, 6)

Straight line passing through the origin

Circle whose center is at the origin

Correct Answer:

Straight line passing through the origin

Explanation:

x dy - y dx = 0

so x dy = y dx

so $\int \frac{dy}{y} = \int \frac{dx}{x}$   (integrating both sides)

⇒ log y = log x + log C  →  taking logarithm constant for case of calculation 

⇒ log y = log Cx 

⇒ y = Cx  →  family of lines passing through O(0, 0)
