Facets:
Source sentences:
text: The slope is negative , i.e. m < 0 {\displaystyle m<0}
text: The slope is positive , i.e. m > 0 {\displaystyle m>0}
text: Since the slope is negative, the direction of the line is decreasing.
text: y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}}={\frac {8-2}{13-1}}={\frac {6}{12}}={\frac {1}{2}}} Since the slope is positive, the direction of the line is increasing.
