Concept:

Derivative Rule:

\(\rm \frac {d}{dx}x^n = n x^{n-1}\)

 

Calculations:

Given, x2 - y2 = a2

Taking derivative w. r. to x, we get

⇒ 2x - 2y \(\rm \dfrac {dy}{dx}\) = 0

⇒ x - y \(\rm \dfrac {dy}{dx}\) = 0

⇒ x = y \(\rm \dfrac {dy}{dx}\) 

⇒ \(\rm \dfrac {dy}{dx} = \dfrac x y\)

Hence, if x2 - y2 = a2 then 

\(\rm \dfrac {dy}{dx} = \dfrac x y\)
