y = - 2 x 2 + C
We separate variables:
d y y 2 = x d x
Now we integrate both sides:
1 y 2 d y = x d x
- 1 y = 1 2 x 2 + C
where C is an arbitrary constant of integration.
Now we solve for y.
- 1 y = 1 2 x 2 + C
y = - 1 1 2 x 2 + C
y = - 2 x 2 + C
where C absorbed a factor of 2 since it is an arbitrary constant.
