Answer

$y=3x-1$

Work Step by Step

We are given that $ \dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{y+1}{x}$ We will separate the variables to obtain: $\dfrac{dy}{y+1}=\dfrac{dx}{x}$ Integrate to obtain: $\int \dfrac{dy}{y+1}=\int x \ dx$ This implies that $\ln |y+1|=\ln|x|+C$ After applying the initial conditions, $y=2$ when $x=1$, we get $C=\ln 3$ Therefore, we have: $\ln |y+1|=\ln|x|+ \ln 3 \implies e^{\ln |y+1|}=e^{\ln|x|+\ln (3)}$ or, $y=3x-1$
