To determine the slope of a graph, you need to examine the direction in which the graph is going. A positive slope indicates that the graph is moving upward from left to right, while a negative slope indicates that the graph is moving downward from left to right.
Looking at the first graph representing Isaac's data, it can be observed that the graph is moving upward from left to right. Therefore, the slope of Isaac's graph is positive.
Now let's consider Sakura's graph. From the second graph, it can be observed that the graph is moving downward from left to right. Therefore, the slope of Sakura's graph is negative.
Therefore, the correct statement is: The slope of the graph that represents Isaac’s data is positive, and the slope of the graph that represents Sakura’s data is negative.
