Detailed Solution

For isothermal Process, PV = constant 

Differentiating both side

          PdV+VdP=0  or dPdV= PV×γ

Again for adiabatic process, PVγ = constant

Again differentiating both side

         dPVγ+γVγ-1dV P =0 or dPdV = -PV ×γ

slope of adiabatic curve = γ times slope of isothermal curve.
