[R] Derivative of a function

Yes. I need to do implicit differentiation. After rearrangement, I got 

(x2 – x1) * b = log(1 / y - 1)

Take derivative of both sides with respect to y, I have

(x2 – x1) * b’[y] = - 1/y(1-y)

Since both (x2 – x1) and b’[y] are vectors, I cannot move (x2 – x1) to
RHS. This is why I posted my question here to see if there is some R
functions or some idea that can help me solve this problem. Thanks.

Lisa
