x^2 +y^2 −4x+6y−12=0  2x+2y(dy/dx)−4+6(dy/dx)=0  (2y+6)(dy/dx)+2x−4=0  (dy/dx)=((4−2x)/(2y+6))  (dy/dx)=((4−2∙2)/(2∙3+6))=0  y=ax+b  3=b  y=3  The function is undefined at y=3
$${x}^{\mathrm{2}} +{y}^{\mathrm{2}} −\mathrm{4}{x}+\mathrm{6}{y}−\mathrm{12}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\mathrm{2}{x}+\mathrm{2}{y}\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}−\mathrm{4}+\mathrm{6}\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\left(\mathrm{2}{y}+\mathrm{6}\right)\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}+\mathrm{2}{x}−\mathrm{4}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$$\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}=\frac{\mathrm{4}−\mathrm{2}{x}}{\mathrm{2}{y}+\mathrm{6}} \\ $$$$\frac{{dy}}{{dx}}=\frac{\mathrm{4}−\mathrm{2}\centerdot\mathrm{2}}{\mathrm{2}\centerdot\mathrm{3}+\mathrm{6}}=\mathrm{0} \\ $$$${y}={ax}+{b} \\ $$$$\mathrm{3}={b} \\ $$$${y}=\mathrm{3} \\ $$$${The}\:{function}\:{is}\:{undefined}\:{at}\:{y}=\mathrm{3} \\ $$
