The gradient of the tangents to the curve.
mainly the slope of Is curve depends on ; -the slope of investment schedule -the size of the multiplier
if its a mathematical curve, say v=10t - t^2 (from t = 1 to 5), using calculus, you can calculate instant acceleration (slope of the tangent of the curve at any point) by differentiation, or distance travelled over a time interval (area under graph) by integration. if its say data driven, you can approximate slope and area
You find the slope of the tangent to the curve at the point of interest.
Slope of a Curve A number which is used to indicate the steepness of a curve at a particular point.The slope of a curve at a point is defined to be the slope of the tangent line. Thus the slope of a curve at a point is found using the derivative
You find the tangent to the curve at the point of interest and then find the slope of the tangent.
The slope of a curved line at a point is the slope of the tangent to the curve at that point. If you know the equation of the curve and the curve is well behaved, you can find the derivative of the equation of the curve. The value of the derivative, at the point in question, is the slope of the curved line at that point.
The slope of a curved line changes as you go along the curve and so you may have a different slope at each point. Any any particular point, the slope of the curve is the slope of the straight line which is tangent to the curve at that point. If you know differential calculus, the slope of a curved line at a point is the value of the first derivative of the equation of the curve at that point. (Actually, even if you don't know differential calculus, the slope is still the value of the function's first derivative at that point.)
The slope of the tangent line at the maximum point of the curve is zero. So we say that as a curve point approaches to the maximum point, the slope of the tangent line at that point approaches to zero.
due to negative slope
You're familiar with the xy-plane. A line with negative slope is one that goes down toward the right. A curve has a negative slope at a point if the tangent line to the curve at that point has a negative slope.
The slope of the curve at each point on thegraph is the speed at that point in time. (Not velocity.)
