How do I use mathematica to implicitly solve differential equations of a single variable?

I'm trying to force Mathematica to implicitly differentiate an ellipse equation of the form:
x^2/a^2+y^2/b^2 == 100
with a = 8
and b = 6
.
The command I'm using looks like this:
D[x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 == 100/. y -> 3/4*Sqrt[6400-x^2], x]
where, y->3/4*Sqrt[6400-x^2]
comes from solving y
in terms of x
.
I got this far by following the advice found here: http://www.hostsrv.com/webmaa/app1/MSP/webm1010/implicit
Input for this script is the conventional way that an implicit relationship beween x and y is expressed in calculus textbooks. In Mathematica you need to make this relationship explicit by using y[x] in place of y. This is done automatically in the script by replacing all occurances of y with y[x].
But the solution Mathematica gives does not have y'
or dy/dx
in it (like when I solved it by hand). So I don't think it's been solved correctly. Any idea on what command would get the program to solve an implicit differential? Thanks.
