In the slope field for the differential equation dydx=f(x,y)\dfrac{dy}{dx}=f(x,y), every segment lying on the horizontal line y=3y=3 is horizontal. Which of the following must be true? (a) f(3,y)=0f(3,y)=0 for all real yy. (b) f(x,3)=3f(x,3)=3 for all real xx. (c) f(x,3)=0f(x,3)=0 for all real xx. (d) f(3,3)=0f(3,3)=0, but f(x,3)≠0f(x,3)\neq0 for some x≠3x\neq3.
