When a line on a graph is going up, what does that mean?

By a line going up on a graph, if your referring to correlations, then a line in the diagonal upwards direction would mean a positive correlation.

The equation of the line has an increasing gradient.

(Assuming it’s a straight line going from bottom left to top right) it means that the line has a positive gradient and shows that there’s a positive relationship between the 2 variables

This shows a potential relationship between the 2 variables. This is known as a correlation. Upwards = positive.

Hi Antonietta,

that means the line of the graph has a positive gradient. Therefore, as the value for x increases the value of y also increases!

This means the slope is positive

Strong correlation

It means that gradient and rate of change is positive. The y values increasing with x values.

It is positive slope which means that as the input (x-axis) increases so does the output (y-axis). In other words when x is bigger than y has to get bigger.

It means that the line has a positive correlation

When a line on a graph is going up, it means that the values are increasing as you move along the graph.

That the graph has a positive gradient

It means that as the x value is increasing, so does the y value. The linear relationship has a positive gradient, an increasing trend.

when a line is going up, it means the gradient is positive so the 'm' in y=mx+c is positive.

Positive gradient or positive correlation
