Verify: that -(-x) = x where x = -3/5

Suppose that x and y are both differentiable functions of t and are related by the given equation. use implicit differentiation with respect to t to determine startfraction dy over dt endfraction in terms of x, y, and startfraction dx over dt endfraction .

During a bike challenge riders have to collect various colored ribbons each 1/2 mile they collect a red ribbon each eighth mile they collect a green ribbon and each quarter mile they collect a blue ribbion wich colors of ribion will be collected at the 3/4 markrer

How can you tell when x and y are not directly proportional?
