xy'=yln(xy)
xdy=yln(xy)dx
\frac{dy}{y}=\frac{ln(xy)dx}{x}

Substitution:

v=ln(xy)
dv = \frac{dy}{y}-\frac{dx}{x}
dv-\frac{dx}{x}=\frac{vdx}{x}

∫\frac{dv}{v+1}=∫\frac{dx}{x}

ln(v+1)=ln x + C

v+1 = Cx
ln(xy) +1 = Cx

Would that basically be the complete answer?

It might be interesting to solve this last equation for y=... and verify the answer with the initial equation.
 
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...
