Production Possibility curves can assume different slopes. As far as i know it can be either concave, convex or a straight line.
The concave curve would be concave and downward sloping.This is explained by the law of diminishing returns and that factors used are not homogeneous.In this case the Marginal Rate of technical substitution would be rising.
The curve would be convex in case of rising productivity and decreasing opportunity cost.
Finally it would be a straight line when factors are homogeneous.
Hope it was helpfull.

What does the point outside a production possibility curve mean?
It is an unreachable possibility.
What is happening when a production possibility curve shifts to the left?
In economics when the product possibility curve moves left it shows in decrease in production possibility. Why? try to figure it out, it helps in understanding. Peace out.
How is an immediate effect of an increase in unemployment illustrated on production possibility curve diagram?
a movement of the production point closer to the curve
Why is the production possibility curve bowed out from the origin of the curve?
Diminishing Marginal returns to capital and labor.
Why is product possibility curve linear?
The production possibility curve is not always linear, in fact, it is usually concave down (bowed-in). The shape of the curve depends on the substutability of the goods described by the curve in the question. When goods are perfectly substitutable in production, the PPP (or PPF) is linear.
