Help me with this one, please. Thank you.
3. Curves On the first graph, label the maximum of the curve. On the second graph, plot the corresponding slope of the curve. Using terminology presented in class, explain what is happening to the slope starting at the origin and moving right. Be specific about how the slope changes in relationship to the maximum of the curve. Y x X

- For each of the following scenarios, indicate whether the relationship between the two variables is positive or negative, as well as which line on the previous graph has a slope that reflects this type of relationship. Hint: The X-axis and Y-axis on the graph are not labeled intentionally. You need to substitute the variables from each scenario for the horizontal and vertical axis. For example, in the first scenario, X-axis should be labeled “Income" and Y-axis should be labeled "Education". Relationship options: Positive, Negative Line: A, B, C, D True or False: Line A has a slope of zero.arrow_forward2. A store can sell 40 widgets per week at $8 each and 25 widgets at $13 each. a.
