Problem

At each lattice point in a slope field for the differential equation dydx=f(x,y)\dfrac{dy}{dx}=f(x,y), a short line segment is drawn. What does the direction (tilt) of this segment represent? (a) the average rate of change of yy over a unit interval starting at the point (b) the exact value of yy at that point (c) the slope of the solution curve passing through the point (d) the concavity of the solution curve at the point
