Regard y as the independent variable and x as the dependent variable and use implicit differentiation to find dx/dy. 

                  (I attempted this problem multiple times and still can't find what I'm doing wrong)

\(x^5y^2 - x^3 y + 5xy^3 = 0\\ 5x^4 y^2 \dfrac{dx}{dy} + 2x^5y-3x^2y\dfrac{dx}{dy} -x^3 +5y^3 \dfrac{dx}{dy} + 15xy^2 = 0\\ (5x^4y^2 -3x^2y+5y^3)\cdot\dfrac{dx}{dy} = x^3-2x^5y-15xy^2 \\ \dfrac{dx}{dy} = \dfrac{x(x^2 - 2x^4y-15y^2)}{y(5x^4y-3x^2+5y^2)}\)
