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 means that as x increases, the y is also increasing. So it is a positive slope meaning an increase

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

That the graph has a positive gradient

If the line is plotted from an equation and is diagonal, then it will mean that the gradient of the line is positive.

If the line is vertical then this is an "x" equation line, such as x = 2, where all of the x coordinates are that value.

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
