  4. D Hyperbola
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) Circles

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The given differential equation is \(y \dfrac{dy}{dx} + x = 0\). Rearranging the terms, we have \(y \dfrac{dy}{dx} = -x\). Integrating both sides with respect to \(x\), we get \(\int y \, dy = - \int x \, dx\). This yields \(\dfrac{y^2}{2} = -\dfrac{x^2}{2} + C\), where \(C\) is…
