Work Step by Step

We take $v=v(P, T)$. Its total differential is $$ d v=\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial T}\right)_P d T+\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial P}\right)_T d P $$ Dividing by $v$, $$ \frac{d v}{v}=\frac{1}{v}\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial T}\right)_P d T+\frac{1}{v}\left(\frac{\partial v}{\partial P}\right)_T d P $$ Using the definitions of $\alpha$ and $\beta$, $$ \frac{d v}{v}=\beta d T-\alpha d P $$ Taking $\alpha$ and $\beta$ to be constants, integration from 1 to 2 yields $$ \ln \frac{v_2}{v_1}=\beta\left(T_2-T_1\right)-\alpha\left(P_2-P_1\right) $$which is the desired relation.
