I completed near all problems om a differential equations text chapter on reducing non-separable first order differential equations to separable by using an appropriate substitution for example u=y/x with y'=u+u'x and similar substations in y and x for making other similar problems separable.
I am not asking anyone to do the entire problem for me but I do need a little guidance to begin tackling this problem. I completely understand the procedure for making them separable. What I need help in is setting up the differential equation for the following word problem. Once this is done I can easily finish the problem.
Ch 1.4-29. Show that a straight line through the origin intersects all solution curves of a given differential equation y=g(y/x) at the same angle.

Let's say that the line y=mx intersects a solution to y = g ( y x ) at the point ( x 0 , y 0 ) = ( x 0 , m x 0 ). The slope of the line is m and the slope of the tangent line to the curve at ( x 0 , m x 0 ) is y = g ( m x 0 x 0 ) = g ( m ). Based on this, can you figure out the angle between the line and the curve? Does this depend on the value of x 0 ? If not, then the line y=mx intersects all solution curves at the same angle.
