Answer

\[x^2+2y=K\]

Work Step by Step

$\large{y=\ln (cx)}$ ____(1) Differentiate (1) with respect to $x$ $\Large\frac{dy}{dx}=\Large\frac{c}{cx}=\Large\frac{1}{x}$ ____(2) Replace $\Large\frac{dy}{dx}$ by $-\Large\frac{dx}{dy}$ in (2) [For orthogonal trajectories] \[-\frac{dx}{dy}=\frac{1}{x}\] Separating variables, $$-x dx=dy$$ Integrating, $$C_{1}-\int x dx=\int dy$$ $$C_{1}-\frac{x^2}{2}=y$$ $$x^2+2y=K$$ Where $K=2C_{1}$ Hence orthogonal trajectories of (1) is $x^2+2y=K$
