y=cx-2
y'=c
xy'=cx=y+2.
y=cx-2
3=c-2
c=5.

The differential equation can be separated: dy/(y+2)=dx/x.Integration: ln ( y + 2 ) = ln ( c x ). Exponentiated: y+2=cx. So y=cx-2 is shown. d x / x = ln ( x ) + C = ln ( x ) + ln ( exp ( C ) ) = ln ( x exp ( C ) ) = ln ( c x ).y(1)=3=3c-2 is solved by c=5/3. y(x)=5x/3-2.
