Answer

$-\displaystyle \frac{5}{3}$

Work Step by Step

If $x=x(t), \quad y=y(t)$, then $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{(\frac{dy}{dt})}{(\frac{dx}{dt})}$ $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}[-5t]=-5$ $\displaystyle \frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}[2+3t]=3$ $\displaystyle \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{-5}{3}=-\frac{5}{3}$
