Answer

$-500$

Work Step by Step

We have: $p=x^{0.5}y^{0.5}$ We need to differentiate both sides with respect to $x$. $ \dfrac{dp}{dx}=\dfrac{d(x^{0.5}y^{0.5})}{dx}\\ - x^{-0.5} y^{0.5}=0.5y^{-0.5} x^{0.5} \dfrac{dy}{dx}\\ \dfrac{dy}{dx} =\dfrac{- y}{x} $ Plug the values in the given equation to obtain: $ \dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{-(100000)}{200}=-500 $
