The families of curves defined by the equations y=b x and x^2+y^2=a^2 are orthogonal if -
Options
- Aa=2, b=4
- Ba=-3, b=5
- Ca=-2, b=3
- Da=5, b=2
Correct answer
D. a=5, b=2
Step-by-step solution
From the first equation d y d x =b and from the second equation d y d x =- x y b (- x y )=-1 y=b x So the curves are perpendicular for every value of a & ~b
