A positive correlation between two variables means that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases. In a linear regression model, the slope measures the rate of change in the dependent variable for every one-unit increase in the independent variable. Therefore, if there is a positive correlation, the slope must be greater than 0 because as the independent variable increases, the dependent variable must also increase in a linear fashion.
