the line slants upward from left to rigth

Step-by-step explanation

Step 1

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

so, for


\begin{gathered} \text{slope}=(2)/(5) \\ (2)/(5)is\text{ a positive number } \end{gathered}

the line slants upward from left to rigth.

I hope this helps you
