  1. A curve is described by the equation
$$x ^ { 2 } + 4 x y + y ^ { 2 } + 27 = 0$$
  1. Find \(\frac { \mathrm { d } y } { \mathrm {~d} x }\) in terms of \(x\) and \(y\). A point \(Q\) lies on the curve.
    The tangent to the curve at \(Q\) is parallel to the \(y\)-axis.
    Given that the \(x\) coordinate of \(Q\) is negative,
  2. use your answer to part (a) to find the coordinates of \(Q\).
