Step-by-step explanation

Given: dydx=x+y-2x-y

Now, finding the intersection point of x+y-2=0 and x-y=0.

x+x-2=0, x=y

x=1, y=1

x,y1,1

Let, x=X+1, y=Y+1

dYdX=X+YX-Y

Putting, Y=tX

dYdX=t+XdtdX

1+t1-t=t+XdtdX

1+t-t+t21-t=XdtdX

1XdX=1-t1+t2dt

1XdX=1-t1+t2dt

logX=tan-1t-12log1+t2+C

logx-1=tan-1y-1x-1-12log1+y-1x-12+C

It is given that the solution curve passes through 2,1.

log2-1=tan-11-12-1-12log1+1-12-12+C

0=tan-10-12log1+C

C=0

α=1, β=2

5β+α=11.
