The slope of the tangent any point on a ...

The slope of the tangent any point on a curve is `lambda` times the slope of the joining the point of contact to the origin. Formulate the differential equation and hence find the equation of the curve.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Let `P(x,y)` be any point on the given curve. The slope of the tangent at point `P=λ` (Slope of the line joining the point `P` and the origin) So, `frac{dy}{dx}=lambda (frac{y-0}{x-0})=>frac{dy}{dx}=lambda frac{dx}{x}`
This is required differential equation, On integrating and we get,
`int dy/y=lambda int dx/x` ...
