If the tangent to a curve at a point ...

If the tangent to a curve at a point `(x ,\ y)` is equally inclined to the coordinate axes, then write the value of `(dy)/(dx)` .

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Because the tangent to the curve at `(x, y) `is equally inclined to the coordinate axes, the angle made by the tangent with the axes can be `+-45@\therefore \frac{d y}{d x}`= Slope of the tangent `=\tan (\pm 45)=\pm 1.`
