Detailed Solution

 We have, y=x3+3x2+9x27
 slope of the curve (dydx)=3x2+6x+9

 Now, dydx is consider our main function. 

let f(x)=-3x2+6x+9 diff w.r.to x on both sides f'(x)=-6x+6 and f''(x)=-6<0 for max or min f'(x)=0 -6x+6=0 x=1
So, the maximum slope of given curve is at x=1
The maximum value of the slope is 
dydx(x=1)=312+61+9=12
