dsolve((y(x)-diff(y(x),x)*x)^2=diff(y(x),x)^2+1,y(x), singsol=all)
 

\begin{align*} y \left (x \right ) = c_{1} x -\sqrt {c_{1}^{2}+1} y \left (x \right ) = c_{1} x +\sqrt {c_{1}^{2}+1} y \left (x \right ) = \sqrt {x -1}\, \sqrt {x +1}\, c_{1} \end{align*}

DSolve[(y[x]-y'[x]*x)^2==y'[x]^2+1,y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 

\begin{align*} y(x)\to c_1 x-\sqrt {1+c_1{}^2} y(x)\to c_1 x+\sqrt {1+c_1{}^2} y(x)\to -\sqrt {1-x^2} y(x)\to \sqrt {1-x^2} \end{align*}
