Answer:

Positive

Explanation:

There are a couple ways we can go about this.

First, we can see that as x increases, so does y, so that means its positive

For perspective, if x is the amount of time and y is the number of sales, we can see that the sales are going up and not going down or staying at the same place

If you wanna check your work on that, you can plot two points and find the slope using y1-y1/x1-x2 and the slope will be positive.

We can also use the process of elimination, we know it can't be zero because it's not a straight, horizontal line and we know its not undefined because it isn't a straight vertical line, so it's between negative and positive, and since the line is going up, that means that it's positive.
