Answer

$-125 $

Work Step by Step

We have: $xy-2000=y$ Now, $at x=5$, we have: $5y-2000=y \implies y=500$ We need to differentiate both sides with respect to $x$. $ x\dfrac{dy}{dx}+y-0=\dfrac{dy}{dx} \\ (x-1) \dfrac{dy}{dx}=-y\\ \dfrac{dy}{dx} =\dfrac{- y}{(x-1)} $ Plug the values in the given equation to obtain: $ \dfrac{dy}{dx}=\dfrac{-500}{4}=-125 $
