.

(1)  Differentiate the given equation (both sides).  You will get

         cos(y)*dy = -sin(x)*dx




(2)  Substitute here  x= 3pi/2,  y= 2pi.  You will get

         cos(2pi)*dy = -sin(3pi/2)*dx,  or

         1*dy        = -(-1)*dx,   or

           dy        = dx.




(3)  Hence,  %28dy%29%2F%28dx%29 = 1.      ANSWER
