Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope of the curve between points b and c is -1/3. This can be seen by drawing a line from point b to point c and then calculating the slope of that line. The slope of a line is calculated by dividing the change in y by the change in x. In this case, the change in y is -1 and the change in x is 3, so the slope is -1/3.
