Trying to figure orthogonal trajectories of x^2-y^2=k but I can't figure out the substitution of k

Is this the answer

You don't really need to substitute k because constants go to 0 on differentiation

That is what I found out. His sole example included a k that remained throught the differentiatio and I got confused. Thank you
