The centre of the circle touching the y-axis at origin lies on the x-axis.
Let (a, 0) be the centre of the circle.
Since it touches the y-axis at origin, its radius is a.
Now, the equation of the circle with centre (a, 0) and radius (a) is

Differentiating equation (1) with respect to x, we get:
Now, on substituting the value of a in equation (1), we get:
This is the required differential equation.
