You know that fx(x0,y0) exists. What can you tell about the continuity of g(x)=f(x, y0) at x=x0?

I know the answer is that it is continuous but I just wanted somebody to confirm why.

Since yo is fixed, you simply have a function of one variable (x), so apply what you know about a function of one variable and its derivative.
