The Chain Rule & Implicit Differentiation · Challenge problem

Near the point (2,4)(2, 4), the equation xy=yxx^y = y^x (with x,y>0x, y > 0) defines yy as a differentiable function of xx along the branch through (2,4)(2,4). Find dydx\dfrac{dy}{dx} at (2,4)(2, 4). Give your answer as a decimal rounded to 44 decimal places.
