Implicit Differentiation and Tangent Lines

The video tutorial explains how to determine the derivative DYDX using implicit differentiation. It covers the application of the product and chain rules to find derivatives of implicit equations. The tutorial then demonstrates solving for DYDX through algebraic manipulation and evaluates the derivative at a specific point to find the slope of the tangent line. Finally, it verifies the result graphically by comparing the calculated slope with the graph of the equation.
