Which line has a positive gradient?
Solution
To determine which line has a positive gradient, we need to analyze the direction of each line in the image.
A line has a positive gradient if it slopes upwards from left to right.
Analyzing the lines:
- Line A (green) is horizontal, meaning its gradient is zero (not positive or negative).
- Line B (purple) slopes upwards from left to right, meaning it has a positive gradient.
- Line C (blue) slopes downwards from left to right, meaning it has a negative gradient.
- Line D (red) is vertical, meaning its gradient is undefined.
Thus, Line B has a positive gradient.
The correct answer is B. Line B.

Tip: Remember, the gradient of a line is the change in over the change in , often referred to as "rise over run."
