A 10-foot ladder stands on a horizontal floor and leans against a vertical wall. Use \(x\) to denote the distance along the floor from the wall to the foot of the ladder, and use \(y\) to denote the distance along the wall from the floor to the top of the ladder. If the foot of the ladder is dragged away from the wall, find an equation that relates rates of change of \(x\) and  \(y\) with respect to time.
