See how all of these slopes are independent of the y-values, so for each value of x, the slope is the same
vertically, but is different horizontally. Compare this slope field to the next example.
Example 2: Given = y, sketch the slope field of the function.
Here, the slope of the curve at y = 1 is 1. The slope of the curve at y = 2 is 2. The slope of the curve at the
origin is 0. The slope of the curve at y = −1 is −1. Let’s make a sketch.
