Hey i need some help finding the general solution of

ydy= (-x+ √(x^2 + y^2))dx

by using the substitution y= vx and then the substitution u^2= 1 + v^2

It would be great if someone could help.

One, this looks like homework which should be in the homework area. Second you have shown no work at all. You are told to use the substitution y= vx. What do you get when you do that?
