A positive slope is simply a slope going upward on a graph from left to right. A negative slope is a slope going downward from left to right. Often, negative slopes are the reverse of positive slopes and are both depending on the person's direction.

How can you tell from a scatter plot wheather two variables have a positive correlation a negative correlation or no correlation?

Positive correlation = the slope of the scattered dots will rise from left to right (positive slope) Negative correlation = the slope of the scattered dots will fall from left to right (negative slope) No correlation = no real visible slope, the dots are too scattered to tell.

What are Real life examples of slope?

Real-life examples of slope can be seen in various scenarios, such as driving on a hilly road where the slope indicates the steepness of the incline. In construction, the slope of a roof determines how water drains off the surface. In economics, the slope of a demand curve represents the rate at which quantity demanded changes with a change in price. These examples demonstrate how slope is a crucial concept in understanding and analyzing real-world phenomena across different disciplines.
