Answer:

False

explanation:When the slope is positive, the y-value increases as x increases which means that the line would move upward as it goes to the right side of the graph. The opposite is true when the slope is negative. The line would fall down as the x-value increases. This means that as x increases, y decreases when moving to the right side of the graph. When you go to the right, x-value increases.

Explanation:

Note that when a line has a positive slope it rises up left to right. Note that when a line has a negative slope it falls left to right. Note that when a line is horizontal the slope is 0. Note that when the line is vertical the slope is undefined
