Which statement is correct?
a horizontal line has no slope.
a vertical line has a slope of zero.
a line that rises from left to right has a positive slope.
a line that falls from right to left has a negative slope.

A line that rises from left to right has a positive slope

Step-by-step explanation:

Verify each statement

case A) A horizontal line has no slope

The statement is False

Because a horizontal line has a slope equal to zero

case B) A vertical line has a slope of zero

The statement is False

Because a vertical line has a undefined slope

case C) A line that rises from left to right has a positive slope

The statement is True

case D) A line that falls right to left has a negative slope

The statement is False

Because a is a positive slope

correct choice is b

step-by-step explanation:

when you calculate the average rate of change of a function, you are finding the slope of the secant line between the two points. for the function the average rate of change from point to point can be calculated as

to find the average rate of change from day 2 to day 10, note that at day 2, 8 houses were sold, so a(2,8) and at day 10, 2 houses were sold, so b(10,2). thus,
