Find the orthogonal trajectories for the family of curves of y=mx+1. I obtained y=-x/m+C but apparently that is not correct.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

the two functions are orthogonal, but y=mx+1 is not a family, just one line. Could it be where the problem is?

OpenStudy (ozuukai):

So i realised that the family is circles but how do i show working out for that? I dont get how to get from what i got to the equation of a circle.
