Answer 1

`\huge{\boxed{\text{D}}}`

This line is in the format
`y=mx+b`, where
`m` is the slope.

A horizontal line has a slope of
`0`.

A vertical line has an undefined slope.

A positive slope makes the line go upwards and to the right.

A negative slope makes the line go downwards and to the right.
