What is the curve which passes through the point (1, 1and whose slope i2yx ?

  • Circle

  • Parabola

  • Ellipse

  • Hyperbola


B.

Parabola

slope is given to be 2y/x

 dydx = 2yxThus dy2y = dxxIntegrating both sidedy2y = dxx12logy = logx +cCurve passes through (1, 1) we get12log1 = log1 +cBut log1 = 0  c = 0Thus curve is 12logy = logxOr after simplification by using properties of logarithm we get y= x2Thus the curve is y = x2is the equation of parabola
