#y'=-\frac{5x+3y}{3x+5y}#

Explanation:

#5x^2+5y^2+6xy=16#

#d/dx(5x^2+5y^2+6xy)=d/dx(16)#

The derivative of the right part is #0# because it's a constant. The derivative of the left part is:

#10x+10yy'+6y+6xy'#

So we have:
#10x+10yy'+6y+6xy'=0#

Let's reduce the equation:
#5x+5yy'+3y+3xy'=0#

Now let's factor #y'#
#5x+y'(5y+3x)+3y=0#

Solving for #y'#:
#y'(5y+3x)=-5x-3#

#y'=\frac{-5x-3y}{5y+3x}#

#y'=-\frac{5x+3y}{3x+5y}#
