Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To estimate the slope of the curve at a given point, we need to identify the tangent line at that point. From the graph, it appears that the tangent line to the curve at the indicated point is steeply sloping downwards. This implies a negative slope. Looking at the options, only A) -12 has a negative slope. Therefore, the best choice is A) -12.
