According to the question,

y\frac{dy}{dx} =x

\\ \implies \int ydy =\int xdx \\ \implies \frac{y^2}{2} = \frac{x^2}{2} + c

Now, Since the curve passes through (0,-2).

x =0 and y = -2

\\ \implies \frac{(-2)^2}{2} = \frac{0^2}{2} + c \\ \implies c = 2

Putting the value of c, we get

\\ \frac{y^2}{2} = \frac{x^2}{2} + 2 \\ \implies y^2 = x^2 + 4
