So, y  b sin  

y vs x will be a sin curve

230.(BCD) If the particle is projected with velocity u at an angle , then equation of its trajectory will be

gx 2
y  x tan  
2u 2 cos2 
dy
We know slope is given by m 
dx
Therefore, slope, m  tan 
It implies that the graph between slope and x will be straight line having negative slope and a non-zero
positive intercept on y-axis.
But x is directly proportional of the time t; therefore, for shape of graph between slope and t is also
straight line with negative slope.
Hence, only option (A) is correct, i.e., option (B), (C) and (D) incorrect.
