ANSWER:

slant upward

Explanation:

The line would slant upward to the right because if the y-intercept is negative, the line starts below the x-axis and if the x-intercept is positive, it means the line continues from below the x-axis and crosses to the right. right. from the origin (to the right of 0), which means that it is tilted up to the right.

We can rectify it in the following graph
