Question
Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows two graphs depicting points per game for players A and B. The first graph shows points per game for player A. The horizontal axis shows games ranging from 0 to 5 in increments of 1. The vertical axis shows points ranging from 0 to 85 in increments of 5. Three data points are plotted on the graph at left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma 40 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 4 comma 80 right parenthesis. A line connects all the data points. The second graph shows points per game for player B. The horizontal axis shows games ranging from 0 to 6 in increments of 1. The vertical axis shows points ranging from 0 to 80 in increments of 5. Three data points are plotted on the graph at left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 3 comma 45 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 5 comma 75 right parenthesis. A line connects all the data points.

Question
Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a coordinate plane with the x-axis ranging from negative 9 to 9 in one unit increments, and the y-axis ranging from negative 11 to 11 in one unit increments. A solid line passes through two plotted points and extends beyond. A solid line with arrows at both ends passes through points with coordinates left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis and left parenthesis 6 comma 6 right parenthesis.

Explain why the slope is positive or negative.

Responses

The slope is positive because the line decreases as you move from left to right on the graph.
The slope is positive because the line decreases as you move from left to right on the graph.

Use the image to answer the question.

An illustration shows a coordinate plane with the x-axis ranging from negative 9 to 9 in one unit increments, and the y-axis ranging from negative 11 to 11 in one unit increments. A solid line passes through four plotted points and extends beyond. A solid line with arrows at both ends passes through points with coordinates left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma negative 2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 4 comma negative 4 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 6 comma negative 6 right parenthesis. The solid line forms the hypotenuse for two triangles. The first triangle is marked with a dotted line and has vertices with coordinates left parenthesis 0 comma 0 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 0 comma negative 2 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 2 comma negative 2 right parenthesis. The base is labeled as 2, and the perpendicular height on the left is labeled as 2. The second triangle is marked with a dashed line and has vertices with coordinates left parenthesis 2 comma negative 2 right parenthesis, left parenthesis 2 comma negative 6 right parenthesis, and left parenthesis 6 comma negative 6 right parenthesis. The base is labeled as 4, and the perpendicular height on the left is labeled as 4.
