Carefully read each question and follow the instructions. Show all your work where applicable.
1. Sketch a slope field for the differential equation dy/dx = x at the given points on the coordinate plane below.
2. Which differential equation best represents the given slope field?
dy/dx = y
dy/dx = x
dy/dx = -x
dy/dx = 1
3. If a slope field has horizontal line segments along the x-axis, it suggests that dy/dx = when y = 0.
4. A slope field where all segments have the same slope indicates that the differential equation is of the form dy/dx = .
5. Consider the differential equation dy/dx = y. If a solution curve passes through the point (0, 1), describe the general shape of the curve as x increases.
6. A slope field can be used to visualize the family of solutions to a differential equation.
