Answer:
The correct option is D.
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope of a line is the change in y with respect to x.
If the slope of a line is undefined it means it is a vertical line and a vertical line can not passes through three quadrants. So, option A is incorrect.
If the slope of a line is 0 it means it is a horizontal line and a horizontal line can not passes through three quadrants. So, option B is incorrect.
If the slope of a line is positive it means the value of y increases as x increases.
Since it is an increasing line, therefore after a certain period both x and y will positive. It means the line will passes through first quadrant. So, option C is incorrect.
If the slope of a line is negative it means the value of y decreases as x increases. It can passes through each of Quadrants II, III, and IV.
Therefore the correct option is D.
