It depends on which way the stem of the notes are going. If the stems of the notes are going up, then the slur is below the notes. If the stems of the notes are going down, the slur is above the notes.
Being on the middle line, the stem can go either way. What usually determines stem direction is context.
first and last
Ties connecting note heads are drawn either above or below the notes depending on placement of the notes on the scale. Positioning is dependent based solely on where space allows. Either top or bottom positioning is acceptable.
A half note or a quarter note has a stem but neither flags nor beams. if an eighth note or smaller comes at the beginning or end of a measure, next to a quarter note, it will be written with one or more flags. Eighth notes or smaller that come consecutively may be written with flags or beams.
When stem directions are mixed in a passage, the slur will follow the stem direction of the notehead it starts on. If the slur starts on a note with an upstem, it will have upstems throughout, and vice versa. The goal is to maintain clear visual continuity in the notation.

It depends on the notes around it. If the notes before and after it have stem extending down, the stem would go down or vice versa.
The left side of the vertical rule of a stem-and-leaf plot is the "stem", so the numbers are the "stem," also.
