A line with a positive slope has what direction as x increases?
AIt descends left to right
BIt ascends left to right
CIt stays perfectly level
DIt is exactly vertical
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. It ascends left to right
A positive slope means y grows as x grows, so the line ascends from left to right.
