The $x$-coordinate changes on the curve $y=3x^5+15x-8$ at the rate of $\frac{1}{5} \text{ units/sec}$. If $A(x_1, y_1)$ and $B(x_2, y_2)$ are the points on the curve at which the $y$-coordinate changes at the rate of $6 \text{ units/sec}$, then the slope of $AB$ is:

  • A
    $10$
  • B
    $\tan^{-1}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$
  • C
    $18$
  • D
    $\tan^{-1} 2$
