It depends.  
What is the curve?  A circle or a parabola or something else?
Are you launching a rocket or a car?
Are you shooting a bullet or a canon ball?  How fast is it going at the start?
And did you really mean 0.15 degrees?  That is such a small angle that it is difficult to measure it by hand.

The slope is slightly positive to the left at -1.  It is slightly negative to the right at +1.  
A change of 0.15 degrees could mean that it starts at +0.075 degrees and changes to -0.075 degrees.  Is this what you want?
