When x=-1:

Ok that gives us a little more information.
If we implicitly differentiate with respect to t, from the very start, then we can apply our product rule, ya?

The right side is zero, derivative of a constant is zero.
Where x' is dx/dt and y' is dy/dt.
From here, plug in all the stuff you know:
y' = -3
x = -1
y = 4
and solve for x'.
Hope that helps!
Answer:
t =12 m
Step-by-step explanation:
We can use similar triangles and proportions to solve this problem.
Put the smaller triangle on top and the larger triangle on bottom
12 9
------ = -------
16 t
Solve by using cross products
12 t = 9*16
12 t =144
Divide by 12
12t/12 = 144/12
t = 12
