Answer

$\large\frac{dx}{dy}=\frac{\sec x-x\sec^2 y}{\tan y-y\sec x\tan x}$

Work Step by Step

$y\sec x=x\tan y$ ____(1) Differentiating (1) with respect to $y$ treating $x$ as dependent variable and $y$ as independent variable $(y)^{'}\sec x+y(\sec x)^{'}=(x)^{'}\tan y+x(\tan y)^{'}$ $\sec x+y\sec x \tan x\large\frac{dx}{dy}$=$\large\frac{dx}{dy}$ $\tan y+x\sec^2 y$ $\bf Solving\;\; for$ $\large\frac{dx}{dy}$:- $\sec x-x\sec^2 y=\large\frac{dx}{dy}$ $[\tan y-y\sec x\tan x]$ $\large\frac{dx}{dy}=\frac{\sec x-x\sec^2 y}{\tan y-y\sec x\tan x}$ Hence $\large\frac{dx}{dy}=\frac{\sec x-x\sec^2 y}{\tan y-y\sec x\tan x}$.
