`3y^2-x^2+2x-y-3=0`
(I) To determine y', differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x.
`d/dx(3y^2-x^2+2x-y-3)=d/dx 0`
`6y dy/dx - 2x +2 - dy/dx - 0 = 0`
`6yy' - 2x + 2 -y' =0`
Then, group the terms with y'.
`(6yy' - y') - 2x + 2 = 0`
Factor the GCF of the group.
`y'(6y - 1) - 2x + 2 = 0`
Then, isolate y'.
`y'(6y - 1) -2x + 2x +2 - 2 = 0 + 2x - 2`
`y'(6y - 1) = 2x - 2`
`(y'(6y - 1))/(6y-1)= ( 2x - 2)/(6y-1)`
`y'=(2x-2)/(6y-1)`
Hence, `y'=(2x-2)/(6y-1)` .
(II) To solve for the value of y' at point (1,1), plug-in x=1 and y=1 to the derivative.
`y'=(2x-2)/(6y-1)`
`y'=(2*1-2)/(6*1-1)`
`y'=(2-2)/(6-1)`
`y'=0/5`
`y'=0`
Hence, at (1,1), `y'=0` .
