$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{x+3y}{x-y}$
ok well following the book example: divide numerator and denominator by x

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{1+3\dfrac{y}{x}}{1-\dfrac{y}{x}}$

apparently, thus this is homogeneous but not sure why?

next solve the DE:unsure:

never did any pencil sketch before
so this is my first one
 
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...
