Question

the graph of a linear function is shown.
graph of a line on a coordinate plane with x-axis from -5 to 5 and y-axis from -5 to 5, line passing through (-4, 0) and (0, 0.5) approximately, with arrowheads
which word describes the slope of the line?
options: positive, undefined, negative, zero

Explanation:

To determine the slope's description, we analyze the line's direction. A line with a positive slope rises from left to right. The given linear graph rises as we move from left (negative x - values) to right (positive x - values). A negative slope would fall from left to right, an undefined slope is vertical, and a zero slope is horizontal. Since this line rises left - to - right, its slope is positive.

Answer:

A. positive
