Read derivative information from graphs - context check

A tangent drawn on a traffic authority graph has gradient \(2.3\) at \(x=3\). State the derivative value at that point. Enter the requested value and choose the interpretation that matches the result.

Worked practice: result and interpretation

Calculate the requested result first, then choose the interpretation that follows from it.
