What is value of dy/dx if x-y = 1?

Options

A

1

B

2

C

-1

D

2

Correct Answer :

1

Solution :

The correct option is 1.

To find the value of dydx from the given equation, we start with:
x-y=1

We can solve this by differentiating both sides of the equation with respect to x:

ddx ( x - y ) = ddx ( 1 )

Applying the subtraction rule of differentiation on the left side, and knowing that the derivative of a constant (1) is 0 on the right side, we get:
ddx ( x ) - dydx = 0

Since the derivative of x with respect to x is 1:
1 - dydx = 0

Rearranging the equation to solve for dydx, we add dydx to both sides:
dydx = 1

Therefore, the value of dydx is indeed 1.
