    The differential equation of all non-vertical lines in a plane is

    A) \[\frac{{{d}^{2}}y}{d{{x}^{2}}}=0\]          

    B)        \[\frac{{{d}^{2}}x}{d{{y}^{2}}}=0\]

    C) \[\frac{dy}{dx}=0\]        

    D)        \[\frac{dx}{dy}=0\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The general equation of all non-vertical lines in a plane is\[ax+by=1\], where\[b\ne 0\]. On differentiating, we get\[a+b\frac{dy}{dx}=0\] On again differentiating, we get                 \[b\frac{{{d}^{2}}y}{d{{x}^{2}}}=0\] \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\frac{{{d}^{2}}y}{d{{x}^{2}}}=0\]
