Question
Use the image to answer the question.

A line is plotted on a coordinate plane. The line begins in quadrant 3 sloping upward from left to right, passes through quadrant 2, and rises through quadrant 1.

Identify the slope.

Answer 1

Just give me the answer bot

Answer 2

To identify the slope of the line based on your description, we can infer the following:

- The line begins in quadrant 3 and slopes upward from left to right.
- This means that as the x-coordinate increases (moving to the right), the y-coordinate also increases.

In terms of slope:
- A positive slope indicates that the line rises as it moves from left to right.

Since the line slopes upward from quadrant 3 to quadrants 2 and 1, we can conclude that the slope is positive.

If you have specific numerical coordinates for two points on the line, you can calculate the exact slope using the formula:

\[
\text{slope} (m) = \frac{\text{change in } y}{\text{change in } x} = \frac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}
\]

However, based on the description alone, the slope can be identified as **positive**.

Answer 3

The slope is positive.
