Consider the curve R 2 given by the equation:
x 2 y 2 = 1
a/ Use the method of implicit differentiation to find all points on the curve at which that tangent has a slope of 5 3
b/ Explain why there are no points on the curve at which the tangent is horizontal.
So far, I have found the implicit differentiation, which is d y d x = x y . Can you guys help me what should I do next. Any help is appreaciate

HINT:
1. Solve d y d x = x y = ± x x 2 1 = 5 3
2. If slope is 0, then y 2 = 1, is it possible?
