The gradient of a curve at a point is equal to the slope of the tangent to the curve at that point.
So, find the slope of the purple line. You have one point (3, 2), so you need another. Try (4, 18/5), for example.

Yes. Don't forget to use brackets when you type it like that, though: (2 - 3.6)/(3 - 4).

Yes.
