Re: locally lip function

In fact, it has the global Lipschitz property with constant $m$.

is it acceptable to say;
suppose that g is differentiable on R.
g'(x)= m
If the derivative is bounded on R, then g is Lip on R and any upper bound for |g'(x)|=m is the lip constant.

and g' is continuous on R hence g is loc lip.

Yes. Of course, proving that $f(x)=mx+c$ is Lipschitz by definition is also easy:
\[
|f(x_1)-f(x_2)|=|mx_1+c-(mx_2+c)|=|m(x_1-x_2)|=|m||x_1-x_2|.
\]

Every Lipschitz function is locally Lipschitz.

Every Lipschitz function is locally Lipschitz.

but doesn't the def of a Lip function say: | f(x_1) - f(x_2)| less than equal m|(x_1) -(x_2)|
 
$x=y$ trivially implies $x\le y$.
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
