AHL 5.15 (HL)—Slope fields Topic Practice
Students practise interpreting slope fields to sketch solution curves through given points and identify loci where dy/dx = 0, often linked to quadratic forms like y = ax².
How this is tested
- sketch a solution through the given point, matching local slopes and shape
- identify the curve y = ax² where dy/dx = 0 everywhere on it, then solve for a by substituting into
- choose the correct slope field diagram by testing gradient signs
