Verify that (1,4) lies on the curve:
125+425=1+(4)5=1+32=33✓
Differentiate both sides with respect to x using implicit differentiation:
25x23+25y23⋅dxdy=0
Since y is a function of x, the chain rule gives us the dxdy term on the second part.
Solve for dxdy. The 25 cancels from both sides:
dxdy=−y23x23
Substitute the point (1,4):
dxdy(1,4)=−(41)23
=−(41)3=−(21)3=−81
Using point-slope form y−y1=m(x−x1):
y−4=−81(x−1)
Multiply both sides by 8:
8y−32=−x+1
x+8y=33
x+8y=33
