Slope as Unit Rate Quick Check

Question

Question
Use the image to answer the question.

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.
