Answer:

The slope of the line reflects the actual trend of the data

Explanation:

The options of the question are

a. The slope should be negative.

b. The spacing for each axis must be chosen so that the line reflects a positive slope.

c. The slope of the line reflects the actual trend of the data.

d. The slope of a line is not important in analyzing a line graph

we know that

The slope of a line is the steepness of the line ( the change in 'y' over the change in 'x',)

The formula to calculate the slope between two points is equal to


m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

where


y2-y1 ---> is called the rise


x2-x1 is called the run

Is important because the slope of the line reflects the actual trend of the data
