Answer:

A positive slope goes up and to the right

A negative slope goes down and to the right

A slope of zero creates a flat line

Explanation:

A positive slope goes up and to the right, because that means the graph is increasing.

A negative slope goes down and to the right, because that means the graph is decreasing.

A slope of zero creates a flat line, such as a horizontal line that never increases in the y value.
