Step 1
1 of 2

The yy-intercept of a line determines the intersection of the line with the yy-axis, while the slope of a line determines the steepness of the line.

If a line has a positive slope, then this implies that the yy-variable tends to increase as the xx-variable increases and the yy-variable tends to decrease as the xx-variable decreases.

Thus the given statement is true\textbf{true}.
