Explanation:

Step1: Recall slope - type rules

Positive slope: line rises from left to right. Negative slope: line falls from left to right. Zero slope: horizontal line. Undefined slope: vertical line.

Step2: Analyze line (a)

The line rises from left to right, so it has a positive slope.

Step3: Analyze line (b)

The line falls from left to right, so it has a negative slope.

Step4: Analyze line (c)

The line is vertical, so it has an undefined slope.

Step5: Analyze line (d)

The line falls from left to right, so it has a negative slope.

Step6: Analyze line (e)

The line is horizontal, so it has a zero slope.

Step7: Analyze line (f)

The line rises from left to right, so it has a positive slope.

Step8: Analyze line (g)

The line is vertical, so it has an undefined slope.

Step9: Analyze line (h)

The line falls from left to right, so it has a negative slope.

Step10: Analyze line (i)

The line is horizontal, so it has a zero slope.

Answer:

a. Positive
b. Negative
c. Undefined
d. Negative
e. Zero
f. Positive
g. Undefined
