Implicit differentiation with Scilab?

Can somebody tell me how to implicitly differentiate equations in Scilab?

Example:

x^2+y^2=25
(a circle equation)

The derivative is:

dy/dx=−x/y

How can we accomplish this implicit differentiation in Scilab? May be with diff or dassl or another function of Scilab?

Scilab is oriented to numerical computations. You can go to http://www.wolframalpha.com and type "differentiate x^2 + y^2 = 25 in x" into the input box.
