Answer

$\dfrac{-4}{5}$

Work Step by Step

Consider $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-\dfrac{F_x}{F_y}$ Plug the derivatives in equation $\dfrac{dy}{dx}=-\dfrac{F_x}{F_y}$ This implies that $\dfrac{2x+y}{2y+x} \times (-1)=\dfrac{-(2x+y)}{2y+x}$ For the point $(1,2)$, we have $\dfrac{-(2x+y)}{2y+x} =\dfrac{-(2+2)}{2(2)+1} =\dfrac{-4}{5}$
