CorrectNot quiteAnswer D

Correct answer: D

Explanation

  1. Differentiate every term with respect to xx, treating yy as a function of xx, so yy terms pick up dydx\frac{dy}{dx}.

  2. Solving for it: dydx=xy\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{x}{y}.

  3. At (5,3)(5, 3) this is 53\frac{5}{3}.

Worth noting

35\frac{3}{5} is dxdy\frac{dx}{dy}, the reciprocal.
