Solve for a general solution
dy/dx = -x/y
thank you for the help~
dy = dx * -x/y
y dy = -x dx
1/2 y^2 = -1/2 x^2 + constant
y^2 = -x^2 + c
y = √(c - x^2) or y = -√(c - x^2)
Perhaps you can just recognize that if
x^2 + y^2 = r^2
2x + 2ydy/dx = 0
It is the slope at a given point (x, y) on a circle.
Or in reverse
ydy = -xdx
(1/2)y^2 =( -1/2)x^2 + C
x^2 + y^2 = 2C which it is convenient to rename as r^2

dy/dx = -x/y, separating out the variables,
y.dy=-x.dx, integrating,
y²/2 = -x²/2 + K {arbitrary constant}, simplifying
y² + x² = M {M=2K}
y*dy = -x*dx
Too easy.
