Answer

${\bf 0.071 }\;\rm T\cdot m $

Work Step by Step

We can see that the magnetic field is in the same direction as the path. So, the integral of $\vec B$ between the two points $i$ and $f$ is given by $$\int_i^f \vec Bd\vec r=B r$$ where $r=\sqrt{x_f^2+y_f^2}$ $$\int_i^f \vec Bd\vec r=B \sqrt{x_f^2+y_f^2}$$ Plug the known from the given graph; $$\int_i^f \vec Bd\vec r=0.10 \sqrt{0.5^2+0.5^2}=\color{red}{\bf 0.071 }\;\rm T\cdot m $$
