The slope field of the ODE
y' = Ay + B
is given below.
Determine \color{red}\varphi
.
\color{red}\varphi
=
C
At a given point (x_0,y_0)
, the slope field shows a tiny piece of the tangent
of a solution of the ODE, on which (x_0,y_0)
lies.
The slope of the tangent is determined by the value of the right-hand side of the ODE at the point (x_0,y_0)
.
At the point \color{red}y_0 = y_\infty = \varphi
the tangent slopes are zero.
We solve {\color{red}y'_\infty} = 0= A{\color{red}y_\infty} + B
to find {\color{red}y_\infty}
.
Thus, we obtain {\color{red}y_\infty} = C
.
