(x^2)(2y)dy/dx + 2x(y^2) - 2xdy/dx - 2y +1 = 0
dy/dx(2x^2 y - 2x) = -2x y^2 + 2y - 1
dy/dx = (-2xy^2 + 2y - 1)/(2x^2y - 2x)
at (2, 1/2)
dy/dx = (-2(2)(1/4) + 2(1/2) - 1)/(2(4)(1/2) - 4)
= (-1 + 1 -1)/0
ahh ,we are dividing by zero, so the tangent must be a vertical line
since it passes through (2, 1/2) its equation must be
x = 2
