Problem

A slope field is shown for an unknown differential equation. Along the line x=1x=1, the segment through (1,0)(1,0) rises steeply with an approximate slope of 33, while the segment through (1,2)(1,2) rises more gently with an approximate slope of 11. Determine which solution curve near x=1x=1 is increasing more rapidly and briefly explain why.
