The slope of the tangent to the curve at...

The slope of the tangent to the curve at any point is reciprocal of twice the ordinate of that point. The curve passes through the point `(4, 3)`. Determine its equation.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `{P}({x}, {y})` be any point on the curve.

Slope of tangent at `{P}({x}, {y})=frac{{dy}}{{dx}}`

Therefore, according to question,

`frac{d y}{d x}=frac{1}{2 y}`

`2 y d y=d x`

Integrating both sides,

`` `y^{2}=x+C`
