Find tthe equation of the curve for which product of slope of tangent with its y-co-ordinate at any point (x,y) to the curve is x-co-ordinate and the curve is passed through (2.1).

Solution

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
x2y2=2(C1C2)
x2+y2=C.....(1)[2(C1C2)=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.
