An illustration shows a coordinate plane with the x-axis ranging from negative 9 to 9 in one unit increments, and the y-axis ranging from negative 11 to 11 in one unit increments. A solid line passes through two plotted points and extends beyond. A solid line with arrows at both ends passes through points with coordinates left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 6 comma 6 right parenthesis.
Explain why the slope is positive or negative.

The correct response is:
The slope is positive because the line increases as you move from left to right on the graph.
This is because a line with a positive slope rises as it moves horizontally from left to right, indicating that as the x-coordinates increase, the y-coordinates also increase. In this case, the line passes through the points (0, 0) and (6, 6), which shows that as you move from (0, 0) to (6, 6), the y-value increases along with the x-value.
