Answer

$$y=\frac{1}{3}\sqrt{x}$$

Work Step by Step

$y'=\frac{y}{2x}$ $\frac{y'}{y}=\frac{1}{2x}$ $\int\frac{1}{y}dy=\int\frac{1}{2x}dx$ $\ln{y}=\frac{1}{2}\ln{x}+C$ $e^{\ln{y}}=y=e^{\frac{1}{2}\ln{x}+C}=e^Ce^{\frac{1}{2}\ln{x}}$ Let $k=e^C$ then $y=k\sqrt{x}$ Now we need our graph to pass through the point $(9,1)$ so we will apply it as an initial condition. $1=k\sqrt{9}$ $\frac{1}{3}=k$ and so $$y=\frac{1}{3}\sqrt{x}$$
