$A$ point is in motion along a hyperbola $y = \frac{10}{x}$ such that its abscissa $x$ increases uniformly at a rate of $1 \text{ unit/s}$. Find the rate of change of its ordinate when the point passes through $(5, 2)$.

  • A
    increases at the rate of $\frac{1}{2} \text{ unit/s}$
  • B
    decreases at the rate of $\frac{1}{2} \text{ unit/s}$
  • C
    decreases at the rate of $\frac{2}{5} \text{ unit/s}$
  • D
    increases at the rate of $\frac{2}{5} \text{ unit/s}$
