Answer

$y=\dfrac{c(x-1)}{x}$

Work Step by Step

Need to separate the variables to determine the differential equation and then integrate the obtained equation on the both sides. $\int \dfrac{1}{y}dy=\int \dfrac{1}{x(x-1)} dx$ This implies that $\ln |y|=\ln (x-1)-\ln |x|+\ln c$ or, $\ln |y|=\ln [\dfrac{c(x-1)}{x}]$ so, $y=\dfrac{c(x-1)}{x}$
