Calculus Level 3

You are travelling up a mountain and want to figure out the direction to head at to reach the top as soon as possible. Your altitude is given by the function f ( x , y ) = x 2 5 y 2 5 + 10 f(x,y)=-\dfrac{x^2}{5}-\dfrac{y^2}{5}+10 and you are at the point ( x , y ) = ( 5 , 5 ) (x,y)=(5,5) . Give the magnitude of maximum altitude increase.
