A solution curve of dydx=x+yx−y\dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{x+y}{x-y} passes through (1,0)(1,0). Using the substitution y=vxy=vx (or polar coordinates), the curve can be written with arctan⁡ ⁣(yx)=12ln⁡(x2+y2)\arctan\!\left(\dfrac{y}{x}\right)=\dfrac12\ln(x^2+y^2). Find x2+y2x^2+y^2 at the point where this curve crosses the line y=xy=x.
