Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Straight lines

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given differential equation is,
\[
\begin{array}{l}
x \frac{d y}{d x}-y=3 \\
\Rightarrow x \frac{d y}{d x}=3+y \\
\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{3+y}=\frac{d x}{x}
\end{array}
\]
Integrating both the sides, we have
\[
\begin{array}{l}
\int \frac{d y}{3+y}=\int \frac{d x}{x} \\
\Rightarrow \ln (3+y)=\ln x+\ln c \\
\Rightarrow(3+y)=c x
\end{array}
\]
The equation is a straight line equation.
