If there is a direct relationship between two variables, the graph of the relationship will be upward-sloping. This means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases, and as one variable decreases, the other variable also decreases. The slope of the line or tangent line to the curve will not necessarily be negative, as it depends on the specific values of the variables and the steepness of the curve.
