Question

-In the above table, the relationship between x and y is ________ and, with y measured on the vertical axis, the slope between y = 5 and y = 8 is equal to ________.
A) negative; 8 
B) negative; 6 
C) positive; 5 
D) positive; 3

The relationship is described as positive if y increases as x increases, which is implied in the question. The slope is calculated as the change in y divided by the change in x, and given the slope between y = 5 and y = 8, without specific x values, we cannot calculate the exact slope but the choice suggests a conceptual understanding of slope increase.
