Solution of differential equation xdy – ydx = 0 represents:
Let us solve the differential equation
⇒ xdy – ydx = 0
⇒ xdy = ydx
⇒ log y = log x + c
⇒ log y – log x = c
Using log a – log b = log
⇒ y = ecx
ec is a constant because e is a constant and c is the integration constant let it be denoted as k hence ec = k
⇒ y = kx
The equation y = kx is equation of a straight line and (0, 0) satisfies the equation hence
