Slope Signs 4A4Ddc

1. The problem asks to determine the value of $m$ for each given slope and whether it is positive or negative. 2. The slope $m$ is given as a fraction in each case, and the sign of $m$ indicates whether the line rises or falls. 3. For each slope: - $m = \frac{1}{1}$: Both numerator and denominator are positive, so $m$ is positive. - $m = -\frac{2}{1}$: Numerator is negative, denominator positive, so $m$ is negative. - $m = -\frac{1}{1}$: Numerator is negative, denominator positive, so $m$ is negative. - $m = \frac{3}{1}$: Both numerator and denominator are positive, so $m$ is positive. 4. Summary: - $m = \frac{1}{1}$ is positive. - $m = -\frac{2}{1}$ is negative. - $m = -\frac{1}{1}$ is negative. - $m = \frac{3}{1}$ is positive. 5. This matches the descriptions of the graphs where lines with positive slopes rise from left to right and lines with negative slopes fall from left to right.
