The slope of a curve describes how much the y-variable changes for a given increase in the x-variable. In this case, we know that when x increases by 4 units, y increases by 3 units. Therefore, the slope can be calculated as:

slope = (change in y) / (change in x)
slope = 3/4

Therefore, the correct answer is C) 3/4.
