Why do you divide by dx|dt when determining the concavity of a parametric curve?

Why do you divide by dx|dt when determining the concavity of a parametric curve? We know we find d^2y/dx^2 by taking the derivative of dy/dx with respect to t, and then dividing by x, but why do we need to divide by dx/dt?

curve?
