What does a positive slope indicate about a line?

Back

A positive slope indicates that as the x-values increase, the y-values also increase, meaning the line rises from left to right.

What does a negative slope indicate about a line?

Back

A negative slope indicates that as the x-values increase, the y-values decrease, meaning the line falls from left to right.
