**Find the indicated partial derivatives.**

Given the function:

\[ f(x, y, z) = \frac{y}{x + y + z} \]

Calculate the partial derivative of \( f \) with respect to \( y \), evaluated at the point \((x, y, z) = (-2, 1, 3)\):

\[ f_y(-2, 1, 3) \]

A box contains the value:

\[ f_y(-2, 1, 3) = \frac{1}{2} \]

There is a red "X" mark indicating that this value is incorrect.
