If both the rise and the run are positive, then the slope must be positive.

This is because when calculating slope, it equals rise over run. If you divide a positive number by a positive number, you will always get a positive result. A positive slope is one that has an increasing y value as x increases.

In general. A clock that is 3 seconds slow but keeps consistent time will be more accurate than a clock that loses 1 second ever

True.

If the clock loses 1 second every hour that passes then after 4 hours it will be 4 seconds off, 5 hours will be 5 seconds off, etc. It would continue and turn into minutes and hours off.
