It is tilted up as you trace it going left to right. If you write the equation for the line in y = mx + b form, m being positive means that a positive step in x results in a positive step in y. If the intercept b happened to be zero, then the line would lie exclusively in the I and III quadrants.

What are the properties of a slope?

The slope is the ratio of the vertical increase divided by the horizontal increase. The slope of a flat line is 0. The slope of a flatter line is smaller than the slope of a steeper line. A positive slop indicates that the line move up from left to right. A negative slope means that the line moves down from left to right.
