Question

what is the slope of x^2/16+y^2/36=1 at point (x,y)?

Answer 1

It seems you are asked to find the "slope" formula
aka the derivative of y w.r.t x

Answer 2

so start by differentiating both sides

Answer 3

I could find the slope with a point, but the point (x,y) is throwing my off.

Answer 4

Do you know how to find the derivative?

Answer 5

of x^2 and y^2 and a constant w.r.t. x?

Answer 6

I'm asking if you know how to evaluate the following:
\[\frac{d(x^2)}{dx} =? \\ \frac{d(y^2)}{dx} =? \\ \frac{d(1)}{dx}=?\]
