Your classmate wants you to check her work. She is working on a math question that asks her to determine the slope of a line given on a graph. You can see that the graph is a line, and that the line is increasing. Your classmate says that it’s a positive slope but you are not sure of the explanation. She tells you that she went down 5 units and to the left 3 units to the next point on the line to determine the slope. Determine if your classmate is correct and explain why or why not.

A:
Positive slope is up and to the right The rise over the run makes the slope positive she said down and to the left positive slope is / / / / / / / Up and to the right = positive also if you do down and to the left, it if just saying up and over the other way around lol
