  1. A \((x+1) \frac{d y}{d x}+y=0\)
  2. B \((x+1) \frac{d y}{d x}-y=0\)
  3. C \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{x+1}{y+1}\)
  4. D \(\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{x-1}{y-1}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \((x+1) \frac{d y}{d x}-y=0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

We have, equation of line is \[ y=m x+C \] But \(m=C\) (given) \[ \therefore \quad y=C x+C \] \(\operatorname{Now}, \frac{d y}{d x}=C\) \[ \therefore \quad y=\frac{d y}{d x}(x+1) \Rightarrow(x+1) \frac{d y}{d x}-y=0 \] which is required differential equation.
