Question

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. Use a sketch of the vector field F(x,y)=xiyj\text{F}(x, y) = x\text{i} - y\text{j} to draw some flow lines. From your sketches, can you guess the equations of the flow lines?
