Question

Is the slope of the line illustrated in the graph below positive or negative?

Moving from left to right, the line starts in the upper left-hand quadrant, passes through the x-axis into the lower left-hand quadrant, and then crosses the y-axis, passing into the lower right-hand quadrant.

Answer 1

Answer: change in y divided by change in x

Step-by-step explanation: The slope of a line is a measure of its steepness. Mathematically, slope is calculated as "rise over run"
