Question

if a data line on a graph slopes upward as it goes to the right, it is depicting that select one: a. the relationship between the variables on the axes is negative. b. the relationship between the variables on the axes is inverse. c. the relationship between the variables on the axes is positive. d. as the value of one variable falls, the value of the other also falls (all else constant).

Explanation:

In a graph, an upward - sloping line from left to right indicates that as the value of one variable (usually the independent variable on the x - axis) increases, the value of the other variable (usually the dependent variable on the y - axis) also increases. This is the definition of a positive relationship between variables.

Answer:

C. the relationship between the variables on the axes is positive.
