Answer : \frac{dx}{dy}=0

Hint : Slope of the y-axis is \infty.

Given :

Given that

The tangent line at a point (x,y) on the curvey =f(x) is parallel to y-axis.

We have to write the value of \frac{dx}{dy}.

Solution :

We know that,

The slope of the y-axis is \infty.

Also, the tangent line at a point (x,y) on the curvey =f(x) is parallel to y-axis.

\text {Slope of tangent}=\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}} = slope of y-axis

\begin{aligned} &\Rightarrow \quad \frac{d y}{d x}=\infty \\ &\therefore \frac{d x}{d y}=\frac{1}{\frac{d y}{d x}}=\frac{1}{\infty}=0 \end{aligned}

Hence, \frac{dx}{dy}=0
