Analyzing a 2nd Order Non-Linear ODE with Variable Substitution

[member 428835]

Can someone check my work here? Both $f=f(x)$ and $y=y(x)$.
$$f'y'+\frac{fy''}{1+y'^2}=0\implies\\
\frac{y''}{y'(1+y'^2)}=-\frac{f'}{f}\\
\frac{y''}{y'(1+y'^2)}=-\ln(f)$$
Now let $v=y'$, which implies
$$
\int\frac{1}{v(1+v^2)}\,dv=-\int\ln(f)\,dx\implies\\
\ln(v) - \frac{1}{2}\ln(1 + v^2)+C=-\int\ln(f)\,dx\implies\\
\frac{y'}{\sqrt{1 + y'^2}}=k\exp\left[-\int\ln(f)\,dx\right]$$
Am I correct to this point? Also, how would you proceed?

This last line is not correct. The right side should be -\frac{d}{dx} \ln f\left(x\right)
