y'=-\frac{5x+3y}{3x+5y}

Explanation:

5x^2+5y^2+6xy=16

d/dx(5x^2+5y^2+6xy)=d/dx(16)

The derivative of the right part is 0 because it's a constant. The derivative of the left part is:

10x+10yy'+6y+6xy'

So we have:
10x+10yy'+6y+6xy'=0

Let's reduce the equation:
5x+5yy'+3y+3xy'=0

Now let's factor y'
5x+y'(5y+3x)+3y=0

Solving for y':
y'(5y+3x)=-5x-3

y'=\frac{-5x-3y}{5y+3x}

y'=-\frac{5x+3y}{3x+5y}
