12.2: Slope Fields. Graph y = C e t for 6 different values of C (3 + and 3-). Let y = C e t . Determine y’. What does this tell us about the relationship between y and the slope of y at any point (t,y)?. Your graphs collectively are known as solution curves for y’= C e t .

Let y = Cet. Determine y’. • What does this tell us about the relationship between y and the slope of y at any point (t,y)?
Your graphs collectively are known as solution curves for y’= Cet. • From your solutions curves for y’ = Cet, determine if one is a solution to the ivp y’ = y (0, -1)
Let y = x2 + 3x + c • Determine y’. • What does this tell us about the relationship between y and the slope of y at any point (x,y)?
Your graphs collectively known as solution curves for y’= 2x + 3. • From your solution curves for y’ = 2x + 3, determine if one is a solution to the ivp y’ = 2x + 3 (0,2)
Slope Fields • Slope fields are a graphical way of solving differential equations. • More specifically, a slope field shows the slope of a solution curve through every point (with integer values) on the coordinate grid.
Solving des and ivps graphically • For an ivp • y’ = f(t,y) y(a) = b • the initial condition tells you where to start (a,b). From the initial condition point “go with the flow” in both directions using the segments as a guide.
