sorry i put some graphs about ORTHOGONAL TRAJECTORIES but then realised that the question was about solving them.

take derivative of the given....then replace dy/dx by -dx/dy and then solve the new DE...

this gives the orthogonal trajectory...

I know that much using m1m2=-1
 
but
 
do this one
 
x^2 + y^2 = ax
 
find the equation of orthogonal trajectory of this equation

c for the curve the diff eqn comes out to be
dy/ dx = a-2x/2y
replace dy/dx by -dx/dy....and solve
u get
dx/2x-a = dy/2y
integrating both sides ull get
1/2 log( 2x - a)+ log c = 1/2 log y
= C(2x-a) = y
this is the orthogonal trajectory for the given curve ...
hope u have understood...nudge me if u have any doubt
rate if useful

just tell me one thing  how can u intergrate it without replacing the constant..??
 
check once again

first find derivative of dat function and as d curve r orthogonal, the product of their slopes (derivatives) will b -1...hence substitute negative reciprocal of derivative as slope of other curve....

x^2 + y^2 = ax

differentialte...

2x + 2ydy/dx =a

replace..
2x - 2ydx/dy =a...

now find its solution...

note that orthogonal trajectories are defined for curves having only 1 constant involved...
