Given that the product of
y- coordinate of point
(x,y) and slope of tangent is its
x-coordinate.
Therefore,
y.dydx=x
⇒ydy=xdx
Integrating both sides, we have
∫ydy=∫xdx
⇒y22+C1=x22+C2
⇒x2−y2=2(C1−C2)
⇒x2+y2=C.....(1)[∵2(C1−C2)=Constant]
Given that the curve passes through the point (2,1).
Therefore, the point (2,1) will satisfy the equation of curve.
Therefore,
(2)2+(1)2=C
⇒C=5
Substituting the value of C in eqn(1), we have
x2+y2=5
Therefore, the equation of the curve is x2+y2=5.
