Calculate the Slope: Analyzing a Linear Function from its Graph

For the function in front of you, the slope is?

To determine the slope of the line segment shown in the graph, follow these steps:

• Identify the line segment on the graph; it's shown as a red line from one point to another.
• Examine the direction the line segment travels from the leftmost point to the rightmost point.
• Visually analyze whether the line segment is rising or falling as it moves from left to right.

Here is the detailed analysis:
- The red line segment starts lower on the left side and ends higher on the right side.
- This suggests that as we move from left to right, the line is rising.
- In terms of slope, a line that rises as it moves from left to right has a positive slope.

Therefore, the slope of the line segment is positive.

Thus, the correct answer is Positive slope.
