For a monarch point, ${\hat{\xi }}_i=\max \{0,1-(\hat{\alpha }+X_i^{\top }\hat{\beta })\}$. Point P2 lies well beyond the monarch-side dashed margin, so a plausible value is $0$. P1 lies between the decision boundary and that margin, so a plausible value is about $0.4$. P3 lies on the wrong side of the decision boundary, so its slack exceeds one; about $1.3$ is plausible. Points P1 and P3 are support vectors, while P2 is not.

Increasing $C$ raises the cost of slack variables of a support vector machine. The fit therefore generally accepts fewer margin violations and misclassifications, at the price of a larger $\Vert \hat{\beta }{\Vert }_2$ and hence a narrower support-vector-machine margin. Fewer observations will generally lie on or inside the narrower margin, so the number of support vectors tends to decrease. These are qualitative tendencies; individual counts need not vary monotonically for every data set.
