I assume that you want the harmonic conjugate. I believe that v(x,y) = 2xy-2y+C (But it's not my field. I had to review how to find a harmonic conjugate.)

Explanation:

First note that

(del^2u)/(delx)^2 + (del^2u)/(dely)^2 = 2+(-2) = 0 so u(x,y) is harmonic.

We need u_x = v_y

u_x=2x-2 = v_y.

Now integrate (partially) with respect to y to get

v = 2xy-2y+h(x)

To find h(x) use -u_y = v_x, so

-u_y = -(2y) and v_x = 2y+h'(x) .

Therefore h'(x) = 0 so h(x) = C for some constant C

Finally then

v(x,y) = 2xy-2y+C.
