If a line has a positive slope, what does that indicate about its direction?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as x increases, y also increases, meaning the line rises from left to right.

Front

If a line has a negative slope, what does that indicate about its direction?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as x increases, y decreases, meaning the line falls from left to right.
