Answer

$y'=\frac{ye^{\frac{x}{y}}-y^2}{xe^{\frac{x}{y}}-y^2}$

Work Step by Step

$(e^{\frac{x}{y}}=x-y)'$ Note: To find $(e^{\frac{x}{y}})'$, we will need the quotient rule. $(\frac{y-xy'}{y^2})e^{\frac{x}{y}}=1-y'$ $ye^{\frac{x}{y}}-xy'e^{\frac{x}{y}}=y^2-y'y^2$ Now, solve for $y'$. $ye^{\frac{x}{y}}-y^2=xy'e^{\frac{x}{y}}-y'y^2$ $ye^{\frac{x}{y}}-y^2=y'(xe^{\frac{x}{y}}-y^2)$ $y'=\frac{ye^{\frac{x}{y}}-y^2}{xe^{\frac{x}{y}}-y^2}$
