Find which slope? Surely your professor, when showing how to find slope explained that only straight lines have a single slope. Other curves, including "broken line curves" like this, have different slopes at different points. Here there are three different straight lines, one from (-5, 5) to (-2, 2), another from (-2, 2) to (0, 4), and the third from (0, 4) to (4, 2). What is the slope of each of those?
 
For original Zeta function, ζ(s)=1+1/2^s+1/3^s+1/4^s+... =1+e^(-slog2)+e^(-slog3)+e^(-slog4)+... , Re(s)>1 Riemann extended the Zeta function to the region where s≠1 using analytical extension. New Zeta function is in the form of contour integration, which appears simple but is actually more inconvenient to analyze than the original Zeta function. The original Zeta function already contains all the information about the distribution of prime numbers. So we only handle with original Zeta...
