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.

Answer 1

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 the line passes through points (0, 0) and (6, 6), which indicates that as the x-values increase, the y-values also increase. Therefore, the slope of the line is positive.
