Answer: Positive

Step-by-step explanation:

Are you familiar with differential calculus? In a plot of position vs. time, the velocity at any given moment is the derivative at that point. A derivative is just the slope. For this plot, the slope is x/t.

Looking at t = 1s, the slope is 1/1. This means the velocity is a positive 1m/s at time equal to 1 second
