Solution 3.
First, check to see if
is a homogeneous function of degree 0.

Since
is homogeneous a function of degree 0 we can construct the solution to the D.E.

We are done !
Aside. We can guide Mathematica to simplify the solution H[x,y] = c. This is just for fun !

Aside. We can use Mathematica to make a contour plot of the solution.

Aside. We can use Mathematica to check to see if the implicit solution is correct. This is just for fun !

The formulas for y'[x] are the same, so our solution is correct.
Aside. We can have Mathematica find the explicit solution to the D.E. This is just for fun !
