The correct answer is: 1
Differentiating the given equation of the curve
\(\begin{aligned}
& 4 x-6 y \cdot(\mathrm{dy} / \mathrm{dx})=0 \quad \therefore \mathrm{dy} / \mathrm{dx}=2 \mathrm{x} / 3 \mathrm{y} \\
& \left(\frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}\right)_{(3,2)}=\frac{2}{3} \cdot \frac{3}{2}=1
\end{aligned}\)
