#dy/dx = -(1 + y)/x#

I propose a slightly different approach.

#4xy = -3 - 4x#

#xy = (-3 - 4x)/4#

Now, differentiate with respect to #x#.

#y + x(dy/dx) = (-4 xx 4 - 0 xx (-3 - 4x))/4^2#

#y + x(dy/dx) = -16/16#

#y + x(dy/dx) = -1#

#x(dy/dx) = -1 - y#

#dy/dx= (-1 - y)/x#

#dy/dx = -(1 + y)/x#

Hopefully this helps!
