A slope of the tangent to a curve at any point (x, y) is given by \(\rm\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}\) .
Calculation:
We know that slope of the tangent,
\(\rm\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}\) = \(\rm \frac{3x}{y^{2}}\)
⇒ y2 dy = 3x dx
On integrating both sides , we get
\(\rm \int y^{2}dy = \int 3x \ dx\)
⇒ \(\rm \frac{y^{3}}{3} = \frac{3}{2}x^{2} +C\) .... (i)
Given that curve passes through point ( -2, 3 ) ,Thus, substituting x = -2 and y = 3 in (i), we get
\(\rm \frac{27}{3} = \frac{12}{2} + C\)
⇒ C = 3
Putting C = 3 in (i), we get
\(\rm \frac{y^{3}}{3} = \frac{3}{2}x^{2} +3\) is
The required equation of curve .
The correct option is 2.
