The correct answer is: $-\frac{a x+h y+g}{h x-b y+f}$
$a x^2+2 h x y+b y^2+2 g x+2 f y+c=0$
Differentiating w.r.t. x of y, we get
$\begin{aligned} & 2 a x+2 h\left(y+x \frac{d y}{d x}\right)+2 b y \frac{d y}{d x}+2 g+2 f \frac{d y}{d x}=0 \\ & \therefore \frac{d y}{d x}(2 h x+2 b y+2 f)=-(2 a x+2 h y+2 g) \\ & \text { or } \quad \frac{d y}{d x}=-\frac{(a x+h y+g)}{(h x+b y+f)} .\end{aligned}$
