Find a curve whose slope at any point (x,y) is equal to 5y, and which passes through the point (1,-2)
All previous examples which i have seen of this type of question give a much more complex slope and always in terms of x.
This is causing me a bit of confusion with my answer. Should I work though it by integrating the slope and putting this equal to x instead of y i.e
x=5/2y^2 + C
then plug in my given x and y to obtain C=-9
giving a final equation of
x= 5/2y^2 -9
or should I work through using a general solution using arbitrary constant?
All help will be very much appreciated
