4. Direction Fields/Phase Portraits. Use the given direction fields to plot solution curves
to each of the given initial value problems.
(a)
x = x+2y
1111
y = -3x+y
with x(0) = 1, y(0) = -1
(b) Consider the initial value problem corresponding to the given phase portrait.
x = y
y' = 3x + 2y
Draw two "straight line solutions"
passing through (0,0)
(c) Make guesses for the equations of the straight line solutions: y = ax.
