Answer
A
A vertical line has a slope of zero.
B
A line that rises from left to right has a positive slope.
C
A horizontal line has no slope.
D
A line that falls from right to left has a negative slope.

Explanation

Slope measures the change in y divided by the change in x. A line that rises as you move from left to right has a positive change in y for a positive change in x, so its slope is positive. A vertical line has undefined slope, while a horizontal line has slope zero.
