1. Sloping Upward (Positive Slope) - The line goes down as 1. Sloping Upward (Positive Slope) - The line goes down as 1. Sloping Upward (Positive Slope) - The line goes down as
you move to the right. It looks like you are walking down a you move to the right. It looks like you are walking down a you move to the right. It looks like you are walking down a
hill. This means the value is decreasing. hill. This means the value is decreasing. hill. This means the value is decreasing.
