On differentiating, we get

\frac{dy}{dx}=-\frac{x}{y}

Hence by quotient rule,

\begin{aligned} & \frac{\mathrm{d}^2 y}{\mathrm{~d} x^2}=-\frac{d}{\mathrm{~d} x}\left(\frac{x}{y}\right) \\ & =-\frac{y-x \frac{d y}{d x}}{y^2} \\ & =-\frac{y-x \frac{-x}{y}}{y^2} \\ & =-\frac{y^2+x^2}{y^3} \\ & =-\frac{6}{y^3} \end{aligned}
