Is the slope of line m passing through (7,4) positive?
1) The line m makes an angle of 30 deg with x-axis.
2) The y-intercept of line m is 2.
Statement 1) The line \(m\) makes an angle of 30 degrees with the x-axis
Not helpful. See diagram.
We have no idea whether the angle is formed this way / or this way \
Insufficient.
Statement 2) The y-intercept of line m is 2.
Two points now: (0,2) and (7,4)
We have enough information to determine whether the slope is positive or negative.
(No need to calculate, but slope is \(\frac{2}{7}\))
Sufficient.
