The DE dy/dx = y/x is best solved by:
AVariable separable (the easiest first try)
BBernoulli's substitution v = y^(1−n)
CIntegrating factor as linear DE
DAuxiliary equation as second-order
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. Variable separable (the easiest first try)
dy/dx = y/x → dy/y = dx/x → ln|y| = ln|x| + C → y = Ax. Variable separable: separate variables, integrate both sides.
