The curve equations are and
.
Two curves are said to be orthogonal trajectories when the slopes of the tangent line to both the curves is equal to .
Consider .
Apply derivative on each side with respect to .
.
Consider .
.
.
Now, .
Apply derivative on each side with respect to .
Substitute in the above expression.
.
Now we can observe that product slope of and
is equal to
.
Therefore both the curves are orthogonal to each side.
\Graph both the curves.
\Consider different values of ,
and
.
Graph each curve for different values of ,
and
.
The two curves and
are orthogonal to each other.
