Question

which statement is true about the slope of the graphed line?
a. the slope is negative.
b. the slope is positive.
c. the slope is zero.
d. the slope is undefined.

Explanation:

To determine the slope's nature, we analyze the line's direction. A line with a positive slope rises from left to right, a negative slope falls, a zero slope is horizontal, and an undefined slope is vertical. The graphed line rises as we move from left to right, so its slope is positive. Option A is incorrect (negative slope falls left - to - right), Option C (zero slope is horizontal) and Option D (undefined slope is vertical) do not match the line's direction.

Answer:

B. The slope is positive.
