Solution by Maple

Time used: 0.016 (sec). Leaf size: 12

dsolve([diff(y(x),x)=-(y(x)-2)/(x-2),y(0) = 0],y(x), singsol=all)
 

\[ y \left (x \right ) = \frac {2 x}{x -2} \]

Solution by Mathematica

Time used: 0.025 (sec). Leaf size: 13

DSolve[{y'[x]==-(y[x]-2)/(x-2),{y[0]==0}},y[x],x,IncludeSingularSolutions -> True]
 

\[ y(x)\to \frac {2 x}{x-2} \]
