Find all the $x$-coordinates (in increasing order) of the points on the curve $x^{2} y^{2}+x y=2$ where the slope of the tangent line is -1 .
\[
\begin{array}{l}

\end{array}
\]
\(\boxed{x=-3, x=-6}\) are the x-coordinates where the slope of the tangent line is -1.
Step 1 :Given the function \(x^{2} y^{2}+x y=2\), we need to find the derivative to determine the slope of the tangent line at any point on the curve.
Step 2 :The derivative of the function is \(2xy^2 + y\).
Step 3 :We set the derivative equal to -1 to find the x-coordinates where the slope of the tangent line is -1. This gives us the equation \(2xy^2 + y + 1 = 0\).
Step 4 :Solving this equation for x gives us \(x = \frac{-y - 1}{2y^2}\).
Step 5 :We substitute this expression for x back into the original equation and solve for y, giving us \(y = -\frac{1}{3}\) and \(y = \frac{1}{3}\).
Step 6 :Substituting these y-values back into the expression for x gives us the x-coordinates where the slope of the tangent line is -1: \(x = -3\) and \(x = -6\).
Step 7 :\(\boxed{x=-3, x=-6}\) are the x-coordinates where the slope of the tangent line is -1.
