A) In the equation y = -10 + 2.5x, -10 represents the vertical intercept as it is the value of y when x=0.
B) The coefficient of x in the equation is 2.5, which represents the slope of the line. Therefore, the slope would be +2.5.
C) Since the slope of the line is positive (+2.5), it will be upsloping. 
Hence, all of the above options are true.
