(b) 1/ ( dy/dx)
Explanation:

It is given that y = (3x − 4)/(x + 2)

Now differentiating both the sides, we get that,

∗ 2
dy/dx = (x + 2) 3 − (3x − 4)/(x + 2)

2
= 10/(x + 2)

Again from (1) we get,

5/7
 xy + 2y = 3x − 4

or, x = −2(y + 2)
Thus dx/dy = −2 ∗
((y − 3) − (y + 2))/(y − 3)
2

Or, y − 3 = (3x − 4)/(x + 2) − 3

= −10/(x + 2)

Thus, dx/dy = 10/(−10/(x + 2)) 2

= (x + 2)2/10, where, x ≠ 0 i.e. dx/dy ≠ 0

Therefore, dy/dx ∗ dx/dy = 10/(x + 2)2 ∗ −10/(x + 2)

= 1

=> dy/dx = 1/(dy/dx)
