Rewriting the PDE as a dot product with the gradient allows the equation to be interpreted as a statement about directional derivatives. Specifically, it shows that the directional derivative of u in the direction (5,2) is zero, which implies that u is constant along curves in that direction.

Conditions: The PDE is $5u_x+2u_y=0$.; ∇u is the gradient vector ($u_x$,$u_y$).
