The slope of a curve at any point is represented by the tangent line at that point. At point A, the curve is steeper compared to point B, indicating that the slope at point A is greater than the slope at point B. This is because a steeper curve signifies a larger change in the y-variable (GPA) for a small change in the x-variable (time spent studying), which defines a higher slope value.
