In a line with positive slope, what does (y) generally do when (x) increases?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Increases
A positive slope means that the line rises as we move from left to right. Therefore, when (x) increases, (y) also increases. “Remains constant” describes a horizontal line with zero slope, not a line with positive slope. Exam tip: If a graph rises from left to right, its slope is positive.
