Use implicit differentiation where LaTeX:  \displaystyle y is a function of LaTeX:  \displaystyle x to find the derivative of LaTeX:  \displaystyle - 3 x \cos{\left(y \right)} + \cos{\left(x \right)}=-43

Taking the derivative of both sides using implicit differentiation gives: LaTeX:   3 x y' \sin{\left(y \right)} - \sin{\left(x \right)} - 3 \cos{\left(y \right)} = 0  Solving for LaTeX:  \displaystyle y' gives LaTeX:  \displaystyle y' = \frac{\frac{\sin{\left(x \right)}}{3} + \cos{\left(y \right)}}{x \sin{\left(y \right)}}
