\[ a \sqrt {x^2+y(x)^2}+x y'(x)-y(x)=0 \] Mathematica : cpu = 0.117947 (sec), leaf count = 16

DSolve[-y[x] + a*Sqrt[x^2 + y[x]^2] + x*Derivative[1][y][x] == 0,y[x],x]

dsolve(x*diff(y(x),x)+a*(y(x)^2+x^2)^(1/2)-y(x) = 0,y(x))
 

\[\frac {x^{a} \sqrt {y \left (x \right )^{2}+x^{2}}}{x}+\frac {x^{a} y \left (x \right )}{x}-c_{1} = 0\]

Hand solution

\[ xy^{\prime }=-a\sqrt {x^{2}+y^{2}}+y \]

Let \(y=xv\), then \(y^{\prime }=v+xv^{\prime }\) and the above becomes

\begin {align*} x\left ( v+xv^{\prime }\right ) & =-a\sqrt {x^{2}+\left ( xv\right ) ^{2}}+xv\\ x\left ( v+xv^{\prime }\right ) & =-ax\sqrt {1+v^{2}}+xv\\ \left ( v+xv^{\prime }\right ) & =-a\sqrt {1+v^{2}}+v\\ xv^{\prime } & =-a\sqrt {1+v^{2}} \end {align*}

Separable.

\[ \frac {dv}{\sqrt {1+v^{2}}}=\frac {-a}{x}dx \]

Integrating

\begin {align*} \operatorname {arcsinh}\left ( v\right ) & =-a\ln x+C\\ v & =\sinh \left ( C-a\ln x\right ) \end {align*}

Since \(y=xv\) then

\[ y=x\sinh \left ( C-a\ln x\right ) \]
