Answer

The Derivative is: $y'=-\frac{19}{(3x-2)^2}$

Work Step by Step

$y=\frac{2x+5}{3x-2}$ Using the Quocient Rule: $y'=\frac{f'(x)⋅g(x)-f(x)⋅g'(x)}{g^2(x)}$ $y'=\frac{((1)2x^{1-1}+0)⋅(3x-2)-(2x+5)⋅((1)3x^{1-1}-0)}{(3x-2)^{2}}$ $y'=\frac{2(3x-2)-3(2x+5)}{(3x-2)^2}$ $y'=\frac{6x-4-6x-15}{(3x-2)^2}$ $y'=-\frac{19}{(3x-2)^2}$
