Find the derivative of the following via implicit differentiation:
d/dx(-4 x+3 y) = d/dx(-41)
Differentiate the sum term by term and factor out constants:
3 d/dx(y)-4 d/dx(x) = d/dx(-41)
The derivative of x is 1:
3 (d/dx(y))-1 4 = d/dx(-41)
The derivative of y is y'(x):
-4+3 y'(x) = d/dx(-41)
The derivative of -41 is zero:
-4+3 y'(x) = 0
Add 4 to both sides:
3 y'(x) = 4
Divide both sides by 3:
Answer: | y'(x) = 4/3
