Direction Fields and Euler’s Method
Match the differential equation with its direction field (labeled I–IV). Give reasons for your answer.

[3] y^’=2-y
When you have a derivative, when it is equal to zero, it has a horizontal tangent.
When y=2 we will have horizontal tangents
The direction filed II is the correct graph because graph II, IV do not have horizontal slopes at y=2 and graph I has horizontal slopes everywhere y=0. This leaves III as the correct answer.
[4] When y=2 or x=0 we have horizontal tangents. This leaves I.
[5] When x+y=1, we have horizontal tangents. Plot the line x+y=1 and this is IV
[6] Check slopes but clearly this is II.
