biology ..estimate the increase in efficiency per unit increase in bee abundance?

Hi, can any one help me with this matter of biology ecosystem problem.Imagine that you have to solve a problem about bee pollination .There are two graphs , one is honey bee pollination efficiency( seeds per visit) on the y plane going from 0 to 22 and the x plane wild bee abundance(bees per metere) going from 0 to 15 . The other graph is the same y plane as first graph but the x plane is wild bee richness(species groups) going from 0 to 11. Now both the graphs are of a linear of a straight line , gradient graphs, ( i think linear regression graphs). now the graph shows the change in pollination efficiency with bee abundance and species richness. I know there is no pictures of the graphs but could some one explain or help me with what this question is asking
1)Using the graphs, state how you would estimate the increase in efficiency per unit increase in bee abundance or bee richness. Estimate this increase for (i) bee abundance and (2)bee richness, giving the units.

would i estimate the increase by measuring the gradient ,, the rise/ run?

can any one help please , or try explain a little . thanks
