Question
Three slopes are given. For each slope, determine at which of the labeled points on the graph the tangent line has that slope.
The x y-coordinate plane is given. The curve enters the window in the second quadrant, goes down and right becoming more steep, crosses the x-axis at x = −2.1, passes through the point (−1.8, −0.3) labeled P, passes through the point (−1.3, −0.7), goes down and right becoming less steep, crosses the y-axis at y = −1.7, changes direction at the point (0.4, −1.8) labeled Q, goes up and right becoming more steep, crosses the x-axis at x = 2, passes through the point (2.5, 1.4) labeled R, exits at the point (2.9, 3), and exits the window in the first quadrant.
