the slope of a line is the ratio of change in the y-values of the line to the change in the x-values of the line

Almost there! Do you see how the rise over run is 3 over 1? Therefore, the slope is positive, first and foremost, because it is increasing. Also, the slope is 3 because it increases by 3 per 1 increase to the right. Hope this helps!
