II. will have a slope field with positive slopes in all quadrants
III.will produce a slope field with columns of parallel tangents
IV. None of these

x/y^2 has positive values in QI
x/y^2 has negative values in QII,QIII
For any constant x, the slopes get less steep farther from the x-axis

so, what do you think?
Answered by Alice
My answer is III. Is that correct?
Answered by oobleck
I think I like D
If you look at the slopes in any column (constant x) they are not parallel

desmos.com can produce slope fields
Answered by Alice
thank you Oobleck. I opened a new tab with Desmos.com but I don't know how to use it. Can you tell me how can I do for dy/dx= x/y^2 in desmos.com pleaseeee
Answered by oobleck
just do

google "desmos slope fields"
and it will provide many hits. The top one in my list was
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/p7vd3cdmei
and then I just changed the formula

generally, googling "desmos xxx" will provide good help
