Find the equation of the tangent line at the point (6,4) using implicit differentiation

0 votes

sqrt(1x+2y) +sqrt(3xy) = 12.2? 

asked Oct 20, 2014 in CALCULUS by anonymous
Thank you so much for helping me with this problem.  I got the same process to the solution, and yet when I enter my answer in Webwork it says it's wrong (the question is to give the slope of the tangent line to the curve at the point 6,4).  I just want to thank you again because this problem was driving me crazy.
