\[2x^2+y^2=9\]
\[P=(-2,1)\]

Treat y as a local function of x. Construct the differentiated relation and give the tangent gradient M at P

\[Ux+Vy\frac{dy}{dx}=0\]

For U and V, differentiate the displayed equation term by term exactly as written. Collect terms without multiplying or dividing the equation by a nonzero constant; then, when requested, substitute P. Keep all numerical factors introduced by differentiation
