Given function is
x \sqrt {1+ y }+ y \sqrt { 1+ x } = 0
x\sqrt{1+y} = - y\sqrt{1+x}
Now, squaring both sides
(x\sqrt{1+y})^2 = (- y\sqrt{1+x})^2\\ x^2(1+y)=y^2(1+x)\\ x^2+x^2y=y^2x+y^2\\ x^2-y^2=y^2x-x^2y\\ (x-y)(x+y) = -xy(x-y) \\ x+y =-xy\\ y = \frac{-x}{1+x}
Now, differentiate w.r.t. x is
\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d(\frac{-x}{1+x})}{dx}= \frac{-1.(1+x)-(-x).(1)}{(1+x)^2}= \frac{-1}{(1+x)^2}
Hence proved
