The red line (line m) slants downhill to the right, so its slope is negative. It has a negative y-intercept because it crosses the y-axis below the origin. The green line (line n) is parallel to line m and has a positive y-intercept because it crosses the y-axis above the origin. Line n crosses the x-axis to the right of the origin at the point circled and marked with a question mark. Since it is to the right of the origin, the x-intercept of n must be POSITIVE. Edwin
