Question

The graph of a linear function is shown.

A coordinate plane with a straight line. The line starts at (negative 5, negative 1) and continues up and to the right passing through (0, 0) and (5, 1).
Which word describes the slope of the line?

positive
negative
zero
undefined

Answer 1

Positive — the line rises from left to right. For example, slope = (1 − 0)/(5 − 0) = 1/5, which is greater than 0.
