Answer

$-\dfrac{2y}{2x+2y-1}$

Work Step by Step

We have: $2xy+y^2=y$ We differentiate both sides with respect to $x$. $\dfrac{d}{dx} (2xy)+\dfrac{d}{dx} (y^2)=\dfrac{dy}{dx}$ This implies that $2x \dfrac{dy}{dx}+2y \dfrac{dy}{dx}-\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-2y\\ (2x+2y-1) \dfrac{dy}{dx}=-2y$ Therefore, $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-\dfrac{2y}{2x+2y-1}$
