Let the moving point be `(x,y)`
Given that, `(dy)/(dx)=x+yimplies (dy)/(dx)-y=x`
Here, `P=-1`, `Q=x`
`:. I.F.=e^(int-1dx)=e^(-x)`
and general solution : `y(e^(-x))=intxe^(-x)dx+c`
`implies ye^(-x)=-xe^(-x)-int1(-e^(-x))dx+c`
`=-xe^(-x)-e^(-x)+c`
`implies y=-x-1+ce^(x)`
This curve passes through `(0,0)`
`:. 0=0-1+cimpliesc=1`
`:.`Curve is `y=-x-1+e^(x)`
`implies x+y+1=e^(x)`
