Hi. I have this Bessel look-a-like DE (however it has the negative sign on the dependent variable):

My attempt at a solution is by (obviously) trying to transform it into a Bessel DE by multiplying it with x2 on both sides, then it would look like the Spherical Bessel differential equation, except that there's that negative sign beside y.

Then what? :nb) I have no idea what to do. Can someone tell me what this DE is supposed to look like so I can solve it on my own?

Got it. Thanks!
 
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...
