The flow lines (or streamlines) of a vector field are the paths followed by a particle whose velocity field is the given vector field. Thus the vectors in a vector field are tangent to the flow lines.
(a) Use a sketch of the vector field $\mathbf{F}(x, y)=x \mathbf{i}-y \mathbf{j}$ to draw some flow lines. From your sketches, can you guess the equations of the flow lines?
(b) If parametric equations of a flow line are $x=x(t)$ , $y=y(t),$ explain why these functions satisfy the differential equations $d x / d t=x$ and $d y / d t=-y .$ Then solve the differential equations to find an equation of the flow line that passes through the point (1, 1).
