Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slope of a curve at any point is given by the derivative of the curve's equation at that point. In the context of a simple graph without a specific equation provided, the slope across an arc (from point a to point b) can be approximated as the "rise over run" between those two points. Without seeing the figure, we can't calculate directly, but if the correct answer is provided as an option, it suggests that the calculation or the context provided in the question leads to a slope of 2.
